ThinkGeek Opens First Physical Store In Orlando

Posted by Soulskill on from the aims-to-disrupt-local-pen-laser-business dept.

New submitter Enderxeno writes with news that on September 25th, geek merchandise retailer ThinkGeek will open its first brick-and-mortar store in Orlando, Florida. The store will open in a mall, and the company will be running it with the help of GameStop, who bought ThinkGeek back in June. The new store will have a 3,000 square foot space that used to be occupied by Radio Shack, and it will focus "entirely on collectibles." (Disclosure: Slashdot and ThinkGeek used to share a corporate overlord. We don't talk anymore, but we still like them. Even though they finally took away our employee discounts.)

    What? No more discount on ThinkGeek for /. employees?

    Man, that's harsh.

    I'm more surprised that there are actual SlashDot employees. From the quality of editing and community response we get around here I guess I just thought this place was run by a bunch of unpaid Dice interns.
