If comic books stores are doing so bad why is there at least 7 legitimate comic only stores in my area? None of these stores have gone out of business even when an owner of 1 died and another that lost their lease just relocated. None of them even sell baseball cards! I’ve asked a few owners about their opinion and not a drat one seems the least bit concerned about the “state of comics.”

My home town has only 2 comic stores, they are across the street from each other and don’t even care about it. They both have been at those locations for over 10 years. One just got an award from the city for some reason.

Also how the hell does Newbury comics have almost 30 stores pretty much all located in New England? It’s a different model then most comic book stores and seems successful enough. I’m baffled why this store never became the next Hot Topic and exist everywhere.

Good lord, a genuine “This can’t be true, my specific experience doesn’t match” post!

Sorry I was genuinely curious about these questions since this thread seemed to be giving answers. Instead I get snark. Whatever.

behind every successful small hobby shop is a spouse who's an investment banker or some poo poo. have you done a headcount on how many mysteriously stable model train stores you have in town too?

Why would I do a headcount on something I don’t care about? But anyway According to Google there’s 3 model train stores and…20 comic stores. I live in Las Vegas, it’s not uncommon for a particular niche store (crab shacks, sensory toy kiosks, fish tank foot spas) to just pop up and vanish but this is different. They’re all still here! This is like mattress store level strange to me.
