It's been a while since I've posted, but we had to let the lawyers, bankers and realtors do their job. The good news is that the sale is progressing nicely and we have the keys to the building. There's lots of work that needs to be done and it's time to roll up our sleeves and get to it.

First off Brian had to set up the tunes....

With a crew of Brian, Eric and myself, we went to work getting that lovely purple, pink and green carpet. It was glued down. After a few hours of blood, sweat, tears, blisters and a few laughs - we managed to get it off the floor.

Unfortunately, underneath the glued down carpet is some equally hideous glued-down tiles.

The next day Lane, Kevin, Cathy and myself went to work on scraping off each piece of vinyl tile. It was pretty difficult, but we got the job done.

Now to get rid of that mountain of trash...

The New Location search is over! BNW 6.0 on the way

We are excited to announce that we are under contract for purchasing a building in Willow Grove. The new address is 433 West Moreland and we plan on relocating the current shop at 212 Easton Road to the new building by the end of May. The new shop is just a few blocks from the current one, next door to Wawa and across from the K-mart near Willow Grove Mall.

The retail space in the new building is over 3,000 square feet and we plan on filling it with cool and interesting items from the world of comics and pop culture. Card games and miniatures will continue to be featured. Board games, toys and apparel will be expanded. The new location will also allow us to feature more graphic novels, hardcovers and collected editions than ever before.

Here are a few pics form the building:

It may not be much to look at right now, but the Brave New Worlds team is already hard at work creating the largest and best comic shop in the entire Philadelphia area. The pink carpet and walls have GOT to go...
