I recently met with Galaxy Comics owner Jeremy Gartner in the store’s new location at 1143 Henderson Hwy. The store has essentially switched retail spaces with Mar-Schell’s Music, which is now in Galaxy’s old storefront at 1109 Henderson Hwy.
“We really just ran out of space,” Jeremy said. “It was time to make a change and an opportunity that came up.
“Mar-Schell’s has been here since the ’80s, we have been here since the ’90s, and we both wanted to stay in this area.”
The new Galaxy Comics location allows shoppers to browse with lots of personal space, and separate counters let customers peruse Pokémon, Magic: The Gathering and other game cards.
Back issues fill one part of the store while new comics have been given their own cozy corner near the front. A new, comics’ account services window ensures subscriptions can be ordered and picked-up seamlessly.
The store’s figurine section has lots of everything, from sci-fi to horror, video game characters and of course Marvel and DC superheroes. One amazing new area is packed with hundreds of Funko Pop!, and throughout the store I found tons of new board games and the latest role-playing books.
“Being in the new store feels refreshing. After being in the other location for 23 years, it was a good thing that worked out for both of us,” Jeremy said.
If you feel like dropping, remember that the store is currently operating at limite capacity restrictions. You can call 204-338-5216 or email info@galaxy-comics.ca ahead to arrange for pickups.
