Your Moves Games To Close June 26th, 2010

[smoagendash]

As some of you have already heard, I have decided not to renew the lease for our second store, Your Move Games (located in Davis Square, Somerville, MA). As a result, the store's last day will be Saturday, June 26th 2010. The sad fact is that the store had been losing money for quite some time even before we bought it last July. In spite of all the time and money sunk into the store over the past year, we have not been able to hit break even, and Pandemonium simply doesn't have the resources to keep Your Move afloat.

The silver lining of this situation is that we will be able to focus all of our efforts and resources on improving Pandemonium in every way over the next few months. We will be consolidating the staffs, fixtures, inventories and events of both stores at Pandemonium. No we won't be able to fit everything, but we will able to get most everything, I think. We will be rearranging Pandemonium's downstairs area to make more room for a larger roster of events and a more diverse inventory of games. Book lovers will be pleased to know that with a larger staff, my attention will be freed up to focus on improving Pandemonium's book selection and literary events, both of which have suffered over the last year.

All members of Your Move Games will have their accounts moved over to Pandemonium, including all credits and Frequent Buyer points. People who have accounts at both stores will simply have their Your Move Games's credit and points added to their Pandemonium membership. As mentioned above, we will be moving most of the contents of Your Move Games to Pandemonium, so we will not be having a closeout sale at Your Move Games. With any luck, we will be announcing the enhanced schedule of events at Pandemonium over the next couple of weeks and will hopefully be able to kick them off after the Fourth of July weekend.

Please feel free to respond below. I will be checking here daily and will be happy to answer any questions. I welcome any constructive feedback. Trolls will be banished.

Sincerely,

Tyler Stewart

I'm anxiously waiting to see how you merge M:tG events since there's some that run at one store but not the other plus there are various nights for different things that may or may not be convenient for some people.

I've been playing sealed at YMG for a little while now and I'd love to see it preserved.

Mike: You'll be happy to know that the discount sealed event will continue at Pandemonium once YMG has closed. It'll still be on Tuesdays, with the same time (5:45 reg, 6:30 start) and same price ($18). See you there!
