Area 51 Gaming and Collectibles opened on August 1st, 2008 by gaming industry guru Erin Giddings. As a previous game store manager in Dallas/Ft. Worth and the Score Entertainment Community Manager for nearly 5 years, Erin traveled all over the country speaking to retailers about what the ideal game store should be. When the opportunity arose he jumped at the chance to open his own game store and try to make it “The Perfect Game Store”. The store itself is over 5,000 square feet of space and offers gaming space for up to 24 dedicated miniature gaming tables AND over 120 collectible card game players to operate at the same time (without having to move displays or alter our play space like many other stores.) Our location has an occupancy rated at well over 200 people and at the current time have one of the largest dedicated gaming areas in 4 states.
At Area 51 we pride ourselves in breaking the mold of the conventional game store. Our employees are knowledgeable about both our gaming and comic products and NEVER work for a commission or towards sales goals. The store itself is clean and provides soda and snack machines for convenience. Over 80% of the store is dedicated to gaming of all kinds and built to optimize your gaming experience. Feel free to check out our FAQ page for more information about the store.
