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. <\/div>\n
“We really just ran out of space,” Jeremy said. “It was time to make a change and an opportunity that came up. <\/div>\n
“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.” <\/div>\n
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. <\/div>\n
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.<\/div>\n
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.<\/div>\n
“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. <\/div>\n
If you feel like dropping, remember that the store is currently operating at limite capacity restrictions. You cancall  204-338-5216 or email info@galaxy-comics.ca ahead to arrange for pickups.<\/div>\n
