What recent changes have you made in the store? Knocked down a wall and added space to the sales floor.
What steps have you taken to expand your customer base or to reach out to individuals unfamiliar with your store or comics in general? Participate with local schools, helped a teacher put together a “nerd” club, and hosting "SoulGeek" events.

How did you choose your store name? Bought Silver Surfer just before opening the store. Went through names like “Universe of Comics” and such. Felt it had to be "Galaxy Of Comics."
