It’s Finally Here……SEPTEMBER 27TH, 2019

by

Friday September 27th will be the opening day for the Walkersville location for Brainstorm Comics and Gaming.  It is a soft opening with the Grand Opening scheduled for November 25th.  We will have lots of events going on for the opening, so keep an eye out during the course of this week for announcements!

Our first major event will be the Pre-Release for Magic The Gathering’s Throne of Eldraine.  Friday and Saturday will be held at the Walkersville location (with seating up to 44 players) and Sunday being held at The Historic Haven.  The cost of the events are $25 each with pizza being provided for the Friday and Saturday ones.

FRIDAY begins at 7 pm, SATURDAY and SUNDAY both start at noon.

In addition, with a new location means new opportunities for employment. We are looking to hire 2 new employees.  Ideally I’m looking for more comic oriented people but am open to hearing from everybody as we are always eager to talk to those enthusiastic about the hobbies we love.

For those positions, it is important that you can work at either location depending on the needs of the store.  Whoever is hired may be working some shifts at the downtown Frederick location as well as the Walkersville one.  It is important that who we hire has flexibility in that regard.

The work requirements for the position are as follows:

  1. assisting customers
  2. previous retail experience
  3. a knowledge base of the products we carry
  4. outgoing/friendly
  5. stocking shelves
  6. receiving products
  7. alphabetizing comics and games
  8. ability to carry 50 pounds
  9. ability to work independently
  10. bagging and boarding comics
  11. cleaning–mopping and sweeping
  12. ability to travel to Baltimore occasionally
  13. ability to work 20 to 30 hours
  14. must be 18+

If you are interested in being a member of the Brainstorm Comics and Gaming family, either email us at [email protected], call us at 301-304-2407 or stop by the next location Monday, Wednesday or Thursday.

Moving More Items Tomorrow

by

If you can help between 10 am tomorrow and 6 pm, it would be greatly appreciated as we are moving the remainder of what is left at the old location.  Food and drinks will be provided!  Let us know by either calling 301-360-5843 or emailing us at [email protected]

Of course, if you just show up to help, we aren’t going to turn you away.

🙂

Thank you in advance for helping us with this momentous occasion!

Throwing The Bat-Signal Up!

by

We are moving the fixtures and boxes of comics from the old location of 54 E Patrick St to our second location at 25 Maple Avenue in Walkersville tomorrow.

As a result, we are in need of volunteers to help us do so.  If you are available between 10 am and 6 pm tomorrow, let us know.  You can either email us at [email protected] or call us at 301-360-5843.

The comic boxes weigh around 50 pounds each and the display cases/bookshelves are much more, so the more people who help the better.  We’ll have drinks and food.

Plus, you get to see the new location ahead of time!

Any assistance people can give us would be greatly appreciated.
