What has been your best promotion or event? We have a 4th of July sidewalk sale that works really well. We have tents in the parking lot, piñatas, and we grill too.
What recent changes have you made in the store? None really. We are a 1980s-model comic store and stay with that.
What steps have you taken to expand your customer base or to reach out to individuals unfamiliar with your store or comics in general? I feel just surviving and staying in business expands the customer base.
What are your plans for the near future? I will be upgrading the technology used in the store.
How did you choose your store name? Back in the day, I checked names of the comic stores in the area and none of them started with “F." I didn’t want any duplication or confusion.
What superpower would you most like to have? Control of animals would be a great superpower.
