Horrible Magic Store with Absolutely No Stock. Avoid It.

This place is a joke. If you're a Magic: The Gathering player, do yourself a favor and stay far away from this so-called "store." It’s beyond frustrating to walk in hoping to find some cards, only to be met with empty shelves and barely any stock. I’m not exaggerating when I say half the store was completely empty, with just a few random packs scattered around like they're leftovers from a fire sale.

The selection is a joke. They barely had anything beyond some random bulk rares, a handful of boosters, and a few old, overpriced promo cards. I asked about specific sets, and the staff just gave me a blank stare, as if the idea that they should have the cards people are looking for was an inconvenience. The store was so poorly stocked, it felt like they didn’t even care to restock or carry anything remotely current. The fact that they call themselves a "Magic store" is laughable at best.

What made things worse? The prices. You’d think that with their lack of stock, they’d at least try to offer some reasonable pricing. Nope. Overpriced, out-of-date cards, marked up like they’re rare collectibles when they’re really just bulk trash. If you’re looking for singles or boosters, you’re better off going anywhere else, even online.

The staff? Forget it. Completely uninterested in helping, and honestly, I felt like I was wasting their time just by walking in. Don’t bother asking about new stock or upcoming releases—no one seems to know or care. This is a store that clearly has no idea how to run a business, let alone a Magic shop.

Bottom line: save your time and money. This place has nothing worth buying, and even if it did, you'd be paying way too much for it. Do yourself a favor and...

Definitely check this place out; great people and a fun environment! I told all my friends that play D&D to rent a room here the next time they can't find space to play elsewhere. If anything isn't perfect just let them know- it's a new business so there is always the possibility of a few kinks to work out but nothing some constructive feedback can't fix. I know they're doing their best to keep desired inventory coming in and all customers happy, so come on in and show them...

Stopped by Grove on a whim just to check it out, i had no intentions on buying anything. Ended up buying not one but TWO graded cards for the first time ever. Believe the owner is who helped me (didnt ask). He was so knowledgeable and honest I felt comfortable in my decision for spending so much on a potential investment/collectable. Brought back the excitement I had as a kid opening packs. Fair prices also, he was very transparent, highly reccomend this...
