Retro Zone Games — Local services in Area F (Alberni Highway)

Pros: *Friendly, welcoming atmosphere. *Well-sorted bulk if you're looking for a single from an old (Magic) set.

Cons: *Space limits play space and inventory (cards and video games)

Some ideas for improvement: *Offer simple snacks for sale since there's very little in the neighborhood. *Set up an old TV for folks to try out games. *Since inventory is pretty low, condense some of your cases to add more play space.

Lots of MTG cards, old and new, and Adrien (the owner) is so lovely, helpful and kind. I always see him giving the kids that come in to play Magic good advice on any questions they have. He is straight up about how much things folks bring in are worth and even if he can't take them, he always tries to point others in the right direction. My favorite store in Parksville, for fans of games young and old,...
