Friends of the shop, I have something really big to ask of you. Do you like having Arsenal Comics & Games in Newbury Park? Then we need your help this Holiday Season to ensure we’ll be back for another year. As much as it pains me to ask for help, I have to put aside my pride and level with you. This location has not been doing well for some time. I have done as much as possible to hustle, work the numbers, promote, but even with the help of some great staff and awesome customers it has just gotten too hard to get through this really difficult year for Arsenal.
Things can’t continue the way they have been and it’s finally time to consider closing the Newbury Park location if things don’t pick up. We have so much fun stuff planned to counter our slowest months of January and February but to even get that chance we need to have an awesome Holiday Season. I mean, one for the record books! It hurts my heart to be spending my time writing this instead of working on a new Christmas commercial but I really believe we have some awesome fans out here in the Conejo Valley who want to have a place to go play games and get all the latest comics they can’t get anywhere else.
Whether you have a pull file, or a shopping list for the people close to you, we’d love to help you out. And if you’re not local, feel free to head over to our website and order something to let us know you’re out there rooting for us. And if everything goes well, I’ll be back here next season filming a brand new legendary Christmas commercial for your Arsenal Newbury Park!
