Retail on Wednesdays, a clubhouse the rest of the week
The shop opened in the back half of a since-closed video rental store, with three spinner racks and a folding table. The spinner racks are gone now, but the folding table is still here, pushed against the far wall for whoever wants to sit and read.
Wednesday is new comic book day and the shop runs like a shop: pull lists get filled first, the wall gets restocked before we unlock the door, and the register does not stop until early afternoon.
Every other day it is closer to a clubhouse - regulars parked at the table arguing about a finale, a kid working through a longbox on the floor, staff who will happily lose twenty minutes talking you out of the wrong first issue.
