It has always been a dream of mine to own my own business. However, I always thought it would be years down the road when I was able to establish myself enough to afford the fees a franchise would charge. Then I found Capital Games. With their low cost start up I was able to obtain financing for my business even at the age of 26. Darren and the crew at Capital games helped me tremendously during the process of obtaining my financing for this undertaking. If it wasn't for their help I wouldn't own the store that I own today.
My store looks better than I ever could have imagined. Everything they promised & they delivered. My walls are full of games and movies and I couldn't be happier with the situation. During store setup Darren was very knowledgeable and laid back. However, he was very professional as well. He was very easy to work with and gave me a wealth of knowledge. For anyone who is thinking about opening up a game store I would highly recommend using Capital Games. They turned a process that could be very stressful into an easy and fun learning experience for me.
A sincere thank you to Capital Games

Cybertek Games, Shepherdville KY
Hi. My name is Jack Wells, and recently I have been blessed enough to be able to open a video game store called Cybertek Games.
These days it's very far and in between when you come across REAL and GENUINELY GOOD people, let me tell you, when you do, you can't ever thank them enough for all they do and have done for you; they're most certainly angels sent to live amongst us! I am forever grateful to have had the pleasure to meet and work with these two great, hard-working gentlemen, Mr. Darren Keathley and Mr. Mike Elliott, from Capitol Games. Not only did they come through for me and my family with helping me to start our first of hopefully many companies to come, but they have gone far above ALL of my expectations for a starter company and for a FRACTION of the cost of ANY other I have looked into getting help from.
If I could possibly give anybody out there any advice when it comes to starting your own video game store, it would be to hire these two very fine entrepreneurs and their very upstanding company, Capital Games.

Elite Games, Lewisburg PA
My business partner and I started with internet sales, but we really wanted to own a physical store. We researched numerous of the popular franchises out there in the video game business. Once we say the price these franchises were charging our dreams were shattered. We knew there was no way we could afford to pay the upfront costs let alone the royalties. Then we found the Capital Games website. I must say I was very skeptical due to the low start up cost. I decided to contact them, since I had nothing to lose.
Every member of the Capital games crew I worked with was very friendly and knowledgeable. They helped us through every step of the process and really catered to our needs. From walking us thru the bank presentation to being present our opening day, they were there every step of the way. They didn't try to just sell us something, their goal was to help us build OUR business and in the process we formed a great friendship. The whole crew has been there for me whenever I needed their expertise and I know they are only a phone call away which give me a peace of mind. You will not find that with the popular franchises out there.
I really like the fact that it is our business and we have full control to be creative, but they are there to guide us.
Thanks again everyone. We couldn't have done this without you. We will be contacting you when we are ready to build our next store.

The guys from Capital Games have been outstanding. I'm amazed as I stand in my store and look around to see how they delivered exactly what they said they would. I have a quality video game store that continues to wow my new customers as they walk in and see the level of professionalism in the way it was put together. There is no way that I could have put together a store with this quality without the help of Mike and Darren. Mike was on site in Florida after the Capital Games team did prep work before hand and I was setup and my doors were open eight days after we moved into my space.
They continue to be my biggest supporters and have been awesome to work with. They made sure that every dollar spent was stretched to its max because of their knowledge of the industry and their experience in the video game industry. And they have set me up to succeed in the process and without the help of Mike and Darren I would not have been able to realize my dream of opening my own business. Capital Games offers that perfect blend of service where what they have to offer their customers is a high quality product at a very reasonable and affordable price. In my quest to build the perfect video game store I would not have changed a thing. Capital Games delivers what they promise and they have a very satisfied customer in Melbourne, Florida. Thanks Mike and Darren!

Game Swap, San Mateo CA
My name is Theo Drackett and I am the owner of Game Swap in San Mateo, CA. My experience with the staff at Capital Games has been nothing but professional and satisfactory. Though they are less expensive than their competitors, you could never tell by how well they get you up and running and stand behind you as you grow. I have people coming into my store all the time telling me how great it looks. As with all other retail products, presentation is very important and my store presents great!
In addition to getting up and running the guys at Capital Game will go to great lengths as far as ongoing support is concerned. They have been behind me 100% with everything from how to carry out day-to-day operations to overall management of the business. I can honestly say that they have done everything within their power to help me succeed!
Thanks Capital Games!!!

Pwnage Games, Deltona FL
Our idea for opening our own store started about 8 months ago when we first saw the advertisement from Capital Games for owning your own game store. We were pretty skeptical at first and the idea got put on the back burner for a while. About 3 months ago we decided to reach out to Mike at Capital Games just to get some information and possibly start the process rolling. Mike was very approachable and available for any questions that we came up with. Once our plans became finalized and we were ready to move forward with the process, Mike was there every step of the way. When it came time to do the in store setup, the guys at Capital Games were here every day until late in the evening to make sure we were able to meet our deadlines. The quality of work that was done definitely sets us apart from the any of the other local retailers and the feedback we are receiving from our customers is Outstanding. Our store was stocked with the latest titles on opening day and a huge selection of quality pre-owned games, DVD's and Blu-Ray movies.
If you're interested in owning your own store then these are definitely the guys to go with. We've been open now for a little over a week and the support is still there. Don't think that just because their prices are lower you're not going to get your money's worth. These guys far exceeded our expectations and would recommend them to anyone. If you have any questions about how they operate or want to verify any of this information feel free to give us a call.

Something 2 Do, Louisville KY
Something 2 Do is a retail hobby store that has been in business for 35 years at the Oxmoor Mall in Louisville KY. Over the years we have concentrated on providing our customers with the best when it comes to strategy games, puzzles, and toys. However, with the added competition of new strip malls and hobby shops it became apparent we had to diversify and expand our product line to remain competitive. So, we added Magic the Gathering and other offerings that appealed to gamers. The bottom line increased, but we still weren't seeing the numbers we had seen in the past.
Our next endeavor to increase business and foot traffic was to add video games and accessories. However, we had little to no experience in this industry, and we found it very difficult to find the appropriate vendors and the help we needed to get this product line in the store. My efforts to add this product line was about to come to an end until I found what turned out to be my knight in shining armor-Capital Games.
The guys at Capital Games put together a package that included store lay-out, new and pre-owned inventory, signage, computer software, and most importantly, the necessary contacts in the video game industry. The package was very affordable and included the training of every employee. What's more, and this is the real kicker, they're store set-up and services are based on one fee, that's it. It's not like a franchise, where they basically own a piece of your business.
On a scale of one to ten, they're certainly a 10, and they don't disappear after the sale. It's also worth noting, since the addition of the video games and movies, business has increased dramatically.
