Every day, after classes, my friends and I would gather there. Instead of calling on the phone, we'd just head by and see which guys were there. Whoever was there got to come out. Or else, hang out, in the office, and play Ultima Online. Eventually, we ran that place. The kids rightfully feared us and the store owner gave some of us jobs.
That comic shop is exactly one half of what I'd like to own one day.
Wanna hear about my dream? It's about "one nation" and "black people" and "something something some" and "food".
Well, alright.
The absolute best scenario, one day, is this. A retro gaming shop. But, hear me out. What I want: The shop is equal parts hang-out and gaming shop.
First, we need a hang-out room. We need multiple consoles hooked up, and perhaps some arcade machines. Now, let's put some tables next to each arcade machine. Just a simple end-table, to rest food and drinks on. Let's not deny that arcade floors tend to be where Pepsi lives. Hell, let's put a paper towel dispenser over each end-table. Just to make napkins easier, when people eat and play.
Let's line the wall across from the machines with an EB style game rack. New release games go mounted on the wall, while a glass case holds the retro stock. NES era onward only. I've no interest in lines that shoot at other lines, and turn into amazing dots. So: retail racks across from arcade machines, with tables in the middle. Retail lounge style.
What goes on the tables? Tabletop gaming. Card games and figurine games. Warhammer 'n whatnot. By the way, a second retail rack sells those. Collectable card games For-The-Wewt. I admittedly don't know shit about dice. My undead army took habitual rape under the firm-and-loving hug of the Bretonnian hoarde. Someone else can run this part. But tournaments are weekly, in each of the games we support. League? There's a pull to having real registered tournaments.
Comics, I stand iffy on. I'm not sure how profitable it is, really. Maybe just a pull list.
Finally, what I really like. A kitchen built into the store. Sandwiches, smoothies, fried shite, and maybe a tea joint like I love so much. Fast quick food for the people in the store. I used to live in a comic shop(pe), and we dined at the Subway next door. Let's let their powers combine, and see what we can do. "Room Prime" has tables to game at, where no food is allowed. "Room Food" has tables that... well, duh.
I'll gloss over the online presence and store. I'll gloss over the fact that we rent titles, with prepay. The place has to be spotless and upstanding and clean. I want parents to feel comfortable leaving kids there after school, and if a kid-managing acredidation exists, we get it. I lived at a comic shop, and even though kids stayed there, the "daycare" was not official. How cool to make an extra draw that it is official, and we support it? I wanna be reputable, muvafucka. The kind of reputable that's allowed to use the dirty words and still be called a "sir, yes, sir".

By the way... That's an MK3 arcade machine there, descending from the clouds with angels... And fittingly, crushing some guy.

Hey, Manchild... You're the trainer, here... You're in charge of the kid's physical well being. I just feed them games and cartoons. YOU'RE THE MOMMY HERE, MAX.

I will teach them to love me and despise all those named "Danny". They will conquer your pathetic loyal nerdbags who haven't pledged allegience to me, and then I will own the shop.

Little do you know... I have sabotauged your so-called "love". For every three Loves you hand out, there is a Mine planted in two. Can you tell which students are mined? Can you be sure it's not your favorite? It might be, Max... It might be little Mickey...
