Galaxy Comics Opens New Store
Thursday, June 4, 2009
As I walked to Key Foods yesterday I noticed that Galaxy Comics opened a new location at 7th Ave and Carroll St. They took over the space above the Park Slope Copy Center, formerly occupied by a shipping store. They had strategically placed a sign down at street level which caught my eye and led me upstairs. I think the space is perfect for a comic book store, which has limited window appeal but a dedicated customer base that will search it out.
The store has been open for about two weeks, and is the owner's third location. The store is small by neat, and includes a large selection of comics, collectibles, t-shirts, and trading cards.
I was aware of their 5th Ave shop, although I have never been inside, and I was surprised to see them open a new location such a short distance away. A search on Google Maps for reveals that comic book stores are few and far between in Brooklyn, but I guess they figure there is a demand from North Sloper's that they can tap in to.
