The geek culture retailer and gaming café is celebrating the successful launch of its new store in Dumfries, bringing the total number of stores around the country to 28.
Sited on Church Crescent and providing five local jobs, it offers the community a safe, friendly environment where people can come and enjoy their shared interests. Fans of Marvel, Magic the Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh! to Warhammer and Pokémon – and even traditional board games, are welcome at the store and can meet and play their hobbies in the café.
Customers can enjoy a high-quality menu with vegetarian, vegan and kid’s options, ensuring there’s something to suit everyone’s taste, which has been developed in partnership with leading food service firm, Booker.
Samuel Glendinning, Franchise Owner at Geek Retreat Dumfries said: “We are excited to have opened our doors and be bringing something new and different to the Dumfries Town center and to the local community. A safe and inclusive place to play, relax, have fun and make friends, where they can share their love of all things geeky from anime and manga to trading card games such as Pokemon and Magic:The Gathering!”
Geek Retreat is on track to open 60 of its planned 100 new stores on high streets by the end of 2021, creating 360 jobs around the UK. The franchise is on track to meet its previously announced target of a total of 100 new stores in 2022.
