Jen Straw and Adam Buckle, owners of Retrovault Warsop on the High Street, shared their “excitement” with your Chad about bringing this retro shop to the community, with the couple eager to see its development.
Adam, who has been selling retro games and consoles on eBay for many years, said that the couple sought a change and made the decision to collaborate on this project just over a month ago.
He said: “Everything has happened very quickly, but we can't wait to see where it leads.”
Jen added: “The feedback has been very positive, with many people reaching out in support. It is exciting.”
Jen and Adam said they want to find out which days are the most popular through trial and error to help them decide on the best opening times in the long run.
The couple also expressed their desire to organise a regular gaming tournament in the store if there was enough interest for it.
