What recent changes have you made in the store? We added more lower cost books and grab bags. We also switched up our gaming section and increased our trade paperbacks selection. 

What steps have you taken to expand your customer base or to reach out to individuals unfamiliar with your store or comics in general? We have a lot of interaction with local schools and libraries and we also use Facebook quite often and we get some followers from eBay too.

What are your plans for the near future? We will continue to cycle through older inventory and update our merchandise. We also plan to increase our Heroclix offerings and gameplay.

How did you choose your store name? It was mainly a takeoff on the Got Milk? campaign.
