Open Saturday, the 10th, no hint of problems, Sunday, store front boarded up, along with a candy store just down the corridor. I wonder if the employees were told. |

The one in Northampton UK has closed as well. |

I looked through the gaps in the panels covering the store front, and it's empty, no tables or stock. Suddenly gutted. |

I thought they had already closed all of the USA mall-based stores in favor of the new small model? |

Roosta I was told it was just moving to St Giles Street in Northampton, they were recruiting for a new manager. |

I was there today before the stores opened and thought the panels amounted to a bonus security measure! Well, that's too bad. That said, I always brace myself when I go in those damn stores. I really don't want to be engaged, I know my way around quite well. I just like to see the new stuff and buy the occasional paint thankyouverymuch. |

The Fair Oaks store is supposed to be moving out of the mall and re-opening as a one man store. |

There is a store in sterling just west of drainsville road off of route 7. It is a very small store. |

Sounds like GW has not changed in their employment practices. They are famous for their overnight changes like these without any warning. |

Pretty sure, but not positive, this is how it happened at the White Marsh location here in MD. And that store was opened the longest at 15 years. Grimm |

The store in Sterling, Va. closed a few months ago. |

I am not liking the news from or about GW these days. |

It's a little bit of a drive from Sterling (better since WV route 9 is now all 4 lane)but my LGS in Martinsburg WV has a good stock of GW stuff (as well as Historical and boardgames) It's called Your Hobby Place, located less than a mile off interstate 81. Plus they moved to a new location a couple months back and now have a huge gaming area, with a separate outside entrance so you can game long after the store is closed. |
