Good range (more than just GW and magic)
Space to play (for free)
Drinks/snacks for sale

Bad:
Pushy or unknoledgable staff
Nowhere to play/not enough playing space/having to pay to play

Generally I like to take a wander, browse the good, talk to someone about what I have on the go without getting a confused look back and, most importantly, I want to be able to game.
If there is no reason to hang around after purchasing something then it isn't really a "hobby store", it's just a shop. Shopping I can do online, usually for 10% cheaper. If there is enough space to game then there is the opportunity to get a club together there and get regular gaming in, or at least grab a mate and head down to use there terrain and stuff. Then while I am down there if they have something I want in stock I am going to get it from them, not the internet. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/530612/5684889.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/530612/5684889.page GMT -Good, clean, not creepy staff
