As a small retailer we are always left to wonder how we compare to the rest of the country.\u00a0 How are our sales compared to similar stores?\u00a0 How are our sales compared to the regional average?\u00a0 Are we doing as well as the entire country?\u00a0 Are we managing to stay ahead of the big chains that can crush us if they simply roll over?\u00a0 Or are we falling behind in any of our critical categories?\u00a0 In a way being a small retailer is akin to \u201cKeeping up with the Joneses\u201d.<\/p>\n

With National Games Week effectively over, a question that we received was how do the games we sell stack up against the list that we published.\u00a0 That\u2019s a great question!\u00a0 And the answer is that we\u2019re nowhere near being average.\u00a0 It seems that a lot of our sales are far more specialized and that\u2019s probably a reflection of the many quirky and eccentric customers that we have the pleasure of serving.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s our list of best selling games. While there are some striking similarities, there are also some significant differences and the order, without a doubt, is very different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
