What recent changes have you made to your store? We re-arranged to add more gaming tables.

What are your plans for the near future? Negotiate my next lease.

How did you choose your store name? I decided I didn't want something like "Larry's Comics", so Mom and I brainstormed for awhile and settled on Galaxy.
