Best comic store I have ever been to was Chapel Hill Comics. It used to be called Second Foundation, but the new owner changed the name to something simple, direct, and easy to understand. That change, among others, transformed the store from a niche place that only a few nerds went to, to a really hopping comic store that made bank. ---

I thought you were buying an existing store? But you’re changing locations, names and getting new inventory? It might be fun to do something ironically over the top like the Simpsons “The Android’s Dungeon” instead of trying to make it actually cool. ---

> [@Frodo](#): > > “Friendly Neighborhood gaming store”? I really like this one. It’s cute and disarming and many comic book game nerds will enjoy the Spider-Man reference. “Throne of Games” sounds like a fast-track to a trademark challenge cease and desist in the near future. ---

How about a Latin name? Latin always looks good on a t-shirt. Something totally random and unimpressive in English but that sounds cool in Latin: Loci Universum Comics Luna Excelsis Comics Ultima Porcos Comics Deus Pollicis Comics Gothicam Risus Comics ---

“Karen’s Game Store” Whenever I see questions like this, I always want to get stuff named after me. Like that guy, Craig, who has a famous List named after him. Man, that guy is _famous_. When I see empty buildings with a sign saying “YOUR NAME HERE” I always imagine it says “KAREN”. Best to happen to me so far is the moon of Pluto was named Charon, which is technically pronounced “Karen” (but no one ever pronounces it that way… ☹ ) ---
