Cobb’s first ThinkGeek shop holding appropriately nerdy grand opening
Whether you like to dress up, duel with lightsabers or obsessively collect things, Cobb County’s first ThinkGeek store could be a safe place for your nerdom.
Originally an online bazaar for everything from trading games to action figures, ThinkGeek has already opened two locations in Georgia.
But it will be opening up its first physical store in Cobb on April 7 inside Town Center at Cobb next to Bath & Body Works on the mall's upper level in the Sears wing.
The store will give out grand opening pins until they don’t have anymore. And there will also be a cosplay contest, so get ready to take selfies with robots and stuff.
The grand opening of the 2,200-square-foot store will be from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., with prizes being given out every 15 minutes. Though, the raffle prizes go until past 9 p.m.
Here’s the hourly themed raffle schedule:
- 10 a.m. | General geek theme
- 11 a.m. | Pop! Vinyl
- Noon | T-shirts
- 1 p.m. | ThinkGeek favorites
- 2 p.m. | Guardians of the Galaxy
- 3 p.m. | Pokemon
- 4 p.m. | Five Nights at Freddy's (FNAF)
- 5 p.m. | Movie/TV show
- 6 p.m. | Star Wars
- 7 p.m. | Cosplay judging awards (no raffle)
- 8 p.m. | More T-shirts
- 9 p.m. | Video game-themed
