I managed to find my way down to the new GW Cottman Ave. store Saturday morning. This store is a massive FAIL on GW's part.
Old vs. New
- Old had a marginal store front presence
- New is tucked in the side of a small plaza
- Old had ~7 display cases
- New, I only saw one
- Old had 6 tables plus a demo table
- New only has 3 tables and no demo table
- Old had a painting bar with ~6 stations
- New = 0 places to hobby
- Old size ~700 sq ft
- New size ~400 sq ft
Now if that isn't bad enough, the location of the store sucks out loud. The roads are horrible; tight, congested, and in poor condition. To be perfectly honest, I can not see this store lasting, maybe 12 to 18 months before it closes down for good.
For all those gamers that are disappointed with the new GW store and do not fear a little bit of a drive, I suggest you check out Showcase Comics in Media, PA. They just added on / opened a new battle bunker which I checked out this past weekend also and it is incredible to say the least.
