Used to live near a GW store that was at the Parks mall in Arlington; not sure why it left but i think there was once one there... Or was that the same one in Grapevine mills...

Wow, that poll is old ^^

But since it´s on front page anyway:

I´m quite blessed in terms of stores. Within a 30 minute car drive I have...

... 4(!) GWs (nearest 20 minute drive, longest 30 minute)
... 1 not-so-FLGS (5 minute drive)
... 1 FLGS I know of and visit mainly (20 minute drive)

I live around 30 minutes away from a small comic/gaming shop called Cyborg 1 when I'm at my parent's place - it's a very friendly and clean store, and the main guy there, James, knows quite a bit about Warhammer, Magic, and a few other gaming systems, mainly Heroclix.

When I'm at school I try to go to Showcase Comics, mostly the one in Glen Burnie, since it's only a 20-minute train ride away (that is, if I'm able to get out of the darkroom and get down to play, which has proved difficult so far...) I've gone down to their Granite Run location once or twice, but it's a much longer ride, so Glen Burnie usually winds up being my stop of choice. Love the gaming community at both locations, but like I said, I rarely get the chance to go down and play - schoolwork's gotten in the way quite a bit.

Gamers Sanctuary

Best. Place. EVER! XD

I cant realy vote for any of those. The nearest GW is over 400 miles away. I have a LGS about 10 minutes away, but it hardly stocks anything. There are a couple decent ones an hour away. What is likely the best gaming store in the state is about 2 1/2 hours away.

I dont know if two stores (one were I live and one in Calgary) count as a chain store.
But I do live near by a very friendly and nice store.

A town over there is a card shop that has GW stuff, but it's an after thought next to MTG. And there is a Hobbytown USA. Unfortunatly I doubt NC will ever get a GW store....again... T-T

I live near GW and that is all

Had a Games Workshop Store close by till they closed down the Boston store, now the closest is NYC or Toranto.

there aren't any gaming/hobby shops near where I live.
I travel around 30-45 minutes to get to a games workshop

There are a total of two gaming stores in New York City. A GW store in Greenwich Village, and The Compleat Strategist. The store manager and two GW employee's there are not bad, but I have better options when it comes to finding someone to play. The Compleat Strategist just sells wargaming stuff, and every board and role-playing game you could want. They do have a wargaming club that meets there, but again, I have better options when it comes to finding someone to play. Neither of these two stores are in convenient positions for me to visit.

im great frieds with my local gw staff THANKS GUYS

I live near a gaming store - Games of War - and 2 GW, Durham and Sunderland, both ran by awesome guys

We have this mall near us that's a hobbyist heaven

There used to be an official GW near me but they closed due to rent issues and all that jazz. However I am lucky enough to have two FLGS in close proximity

I live near a not so friendly gaming store. Good stock and all but by the warp, the staff is as friendly as a Culexsus assasin on crack

There are three local wargaming shops in Moscow where you can buy Warhammer

I live near the GW HQ in Nottingham

No 'close' FLGS for me, but Darksphere is in London which is about an hour by car.....
My closest GW is Oxford, thats around 25 minutes by car if I give it the beans or 35 minutes if I just cruise depending on traffic of course!

I live about 15 min. from a decent store.

The Realm Games and Comics

We got a GW fairly close. thats about it.

I'm blessed to have about 4-5 F (and not so F) LGS within an hour of me. The only GW store I ever saw in St. Louis closed, though.

I live a few hundred steps away from Maelstrom Games. Great store and staff.

Then in Nottingham City, around 10 miles out, I have the main GW store on Friar's Lane and Warhammer World a couple more miles out. Spoilt for choice...

45 minutes away from the Memphis GW Battle Bunker. The staff is friendly and helpful, there are a few douchebag regulars though.

The nearEST game store is an hour a way from my gaming circle and I. Needless to say, I order most of my models online.

I live "near" a Games Workshop store, and a kinda friendly non-gw gaming store. If you consider near to be an hour to non-gw, and 2 hours to GW....

I wouldn't say "near" by *cough* two hours *cough* but Its really nice and worth the drive. Now if only I had my own car.

My nearest game store(s) are both about a 20 minute drive, and both of them are friendly. I only go to one of them, however, because the store is largely focused on wargaming (huge focus on 40k and WHFB, with a large variety of other games like Anima Tactics, Warmahordes, Flames of War, and a few other obscure ones) and has a weekly 40k league. The other is more laid-back and has a gaming circle that meets once a week for fun, casual games. The store itself is more card- and role-playing-based as well, otherwise I'd probably venture to that one.

Honestly, I feel blessed to live where I do, because it seems like some of you fine Dakkanauts have the misfortune of having to drive miles and miles to get to a gaming store. I feel for you guys.

Hero Complex Games and Entertainment all the WAY!!! #1 wargaming store in Wichita KS!!!
