The Florida chain Coliseum of Comics has purchased three game stores from the Friendly Local Game Store (FLGS) chain: Gamesville Tabletop in Gainesville, FL, and two FLGS stores in Jacksonville and Orlando. The Orlando store was originally named Sci-Fi City but rebranded when it became part of FLGS earlier this year.
The operations and assets of the Orlando FLGS will be merged with the East Colonial Coliseum of Comics store by the end of November. The Gainesville and Jacksonville stores will be rebranded as Coliseum of Comics locations.
The move brings the number of Coliseum of Comics stores from 10 to 12.
“We’re thrilled to be moving into the Gainesville area and bringing our brand of service and expanded selection of products to the customers in that area,” said Coliseum President Phil Boyle in a statement accompanying the announcement. “The new Jacksonville location will allow us to bring a welcome expansion of our tabletop space for the local gaming community.”
Coliseum of Comics is a chain of locally owned comic shops that sell comics, games, and collectibles (see “Business 3 x 3: Phil Boyle at Coliseum of Comics.“)
