We've Moved! We opened our doors at our new location on July 31st, 2012, marking the final move for the store. We are still moving product around and unpacking boxes, filling in all of the nooks and crannies. But it looks great! And we have our very own large parking lot! A lot of hard work went into this, and we couldn't have done it without all of our volunteers. Thank-you so much to those who helped contirbute to this dream come true. .
Our new home will be at:
560 St. Albert Trail. This was Krickets restaurant, whose doors are slated to close on about March 15th. The owner is retiring, and we have purchased the building.
The building is a little larger than our current premises.
Is this new location in St. Albert?
Yes, on the west wide of the highway, about 2 blocks north of the Wendy’s/Tim Hortons. It is between Kal Tire and the Streetside Café Google Map Link
Using St. ALBERT TRAIL, turn north at Timmy's Wendy on Lennox, then take take the next right so
you are heading north on Liberton. We are about two blocks up.
Getting the from our current location "A".
Head east on Mcnenney Ave, Turn north on Liberton
We're just after Kal Tire at "B"
Will there still be in store gaming?
Yes, we have a maintain a room for that. It will be almost the same size. There will be some juggling of the schedules upon relocation.
Will there still be Gamealot?
We expect to be able to host Gamealot this year. We may also do a large tent rental if need be, we will certainly have space for it.
Will our hours change?
Once we are settled in, this is possible.
How is the parking ?
We have a massive amount of parking, more than we need. This is .78 of an acre site.
Handicap Parking?
Yes, there is a dedicated stall for this, and also a wheelchair accessible curb. The door is not button activated however. But both washrooms are wheelchair accessible.
Both washrooms you say?
Having been a restaurant, there are two very large washrooms. Each with multiple stalls. For now, we will keep them. We hope this will increase attendance in the gaming sessions, events, and will bring in crowds for birthday parties.
What about birthday parties?
Members will be able to book board gaming birthday party for between 12 to 40 people. They would register their wish list of gaming goodness with us. Gift wrapping is free. Discounts of 5 - 15% would be applied depending on the game, with cash or interact purchase.
The party would have free use of our hot dog machine, and our BBQ. There is a restaurant right next door, so it is possible catering will be an option as well. Or bring your own. Also Within walking distance: Boston Pizza, Quiznos, Mary Brown’s, Wendys/Tim Hortons, Pizza Hut.
Will there be a moving sale?
Undecided. Stay tuned using the link above. Very possibly.
Will there be a grand opening?
Almost certainly. We will be approaching our major suppliers and manufacturers for prize support very soon, and we are watching carefully for deals on large purchases of reasonable gaming product to also use as prize support.
Will you have the same phone number?
Yes.
So you are moving onto the trail! . Will your prices be going up?
We continue to retail in print products at the suggested retail price in CDN, your continued support before, during, and after the move is greatly appreciated.
Will you drop or add any products lines with the new location?
We are most likely to add a line of model planes, cars, ships, tanks, etc.
We are most likely to drop the Warhammer Fantasy
We hope to expand darts, and find more room for all other genres, especially the board games , RPG’s, and Flames or War, which are hurting for space.
What else will be new about this location?
We can game outdoors during pleasant weather. There is a gazebo facing west. We’ll have grass on the west side, so we hope to run Intents Con again.
Bunnock! We can play bunnock at Gamealot again!
It may be possible to do the reno’s in such a manner that gaming clubs have their own after hours access to the gaming area, the washrooms, and an exit while the store is closed completely.
