We are a new comics & collectibles store in Carlisle, Cumbria and we are completely self funded and could use as much help as we could get. We sell a variety of items from clothing, graphic novels, statues, funkos and more, we are hoping to finalize our online store soon to have more reach. At the moment we have limited stock but we are hoping with your help we can get more volume and variety and offer exclusive discounts. We currently have a store open to the public with some stock and a small seating are for tabletop games which we intend to add an xbox into as well as increase our seating area and start offering drinks and snacks.
There isn’t many places in Carlisle where people can go to and sit down and either read a comic or socialise with friends as the majority of places are aimed at coffee drinkers or the older generation. we are hoping to create a hub where people of any age can come in have a seat and relax as well be able to shop for their favorite collectibles or series. In time we hope to add arcade machines, loyalty cards and eventually move into a larger shop. As well as the physical and online shop we hope to be attending as many conventions as possible taking with us products from local artists to help give them a boost as we understand its hard starting up.
We would be highly appreciative of any help we can get even if its simply spreading the word. We have a full list of our rewards on our crowdfunder page as thanks for anyone who donates.
