Welcome To the Otaku Hangout!
As someone who grew up in comic and card shops, I had always dreamed to one day open a store of my own. I love everything about these kinds of stores and they have helped shape who I am as a person. The feeling of getting together with a lot of people of similar interest is hard to beat and most of my good friends have come from people I have met in card/comic shops. I opened this store with the intent that this store would be a place where people who have hobbies or interest could gather and have a good time as well as know that there was somewhere that would carry the types of things they were into. I also like the way my wife said it to me before we opened the store, “Lets make the store into an everyday Anime convention that way people who cant go to the big conventions have a place they can enjoy”.
The name of the business also means a lot to me. I thought long and hard about it when I started the business in 2014. “Otaku” because it means people who get really into their hobbies and “Hangout” because I wanted the business to turn into somewhere that people could sit and enjoy themselves. Thus “The Otaku Hangout” to me literally means this is a place for people who have hobbies and interest to come and gather and have a good time. When the open sign is on and our doors are open there is plenty of room for people to come and enjoy the space and merchandise inside.
