Help me help my LHS - new stock in the store now, and I helped him rearrange to promote the new goods

Is there enough floor space to have a gaming table? Dave

He's got a huge pair of wooden boxes that he has in his only open floor space.  It was used for gaming at one point, now has become a central display of sorts that is used for everything from building an R/C airplane, to storing items while they unpack shipments, to displaying a 1/32 slot car set like it is presently.  There's a ton of stuff packed underneath it presently that's mostly gaming obstacles.  If he had a bit more open floor space, it would benefit him for sure.  He's admitted he needs a slightly larger store.  Either that or a new layout of the floor.

Mike,

I gave most of my business to both a wargame/roleplaying store with a few models and lots of miniatures, and a hobby store that was models/wargames/roleplaying/miniatures.  The first store was mainly for wargamers and roleplayers and it was awesome to see huge napoleonic battles being played in the store, or you could find a booth in the back and do roleplaying.  I played a lot in the store and as a result I spent more time looking around and dreaming about what game or book to buy.  The second store was a lot smaller, but there was a place to play.  Such stores gave me a place to buy, and to hang out and meet people with similar interests.  They were my second homes
