OH FUCK YEAH!!!!
drawing makes it a win

1 Up would be a good name.

Wait, wait, what kind of game store? Like videogames, or dorky shit? If you're opening your own FLGS you might have a chance, but if it's videogames you might want to seriously rethink competing with the major franchises like GameStop.

Call it EBGAMESUX.

Almost every game store that I use has a name that very clearly tells you what the store sells.

The Gamesman.
EB Games.
Gameplanet.

I suggest you do something like that. People like to know exactly what they're walking into.

<hometown> Games
Gametopia
Gameopolis
We Got Game(s)

Teh Epics is a horrible name. And don't give your store a name that has anything to do with fads or internet memes, because they are fleeting. And I doubt you want your business to be.

Gamegasm.
"So many games choices, you'll explode!"

Coincidentally your store will only sell Leisure Suit Larry and DOA volleyball games.

Seriously though, I'd be delighted if you considered the name.

Call it "kidsexchange"

EpicGames

I had an idea of opening a game store as well i was gonna call it "The official bootleg games store." I wouldn't sell bootlegs of-course it's like when you find a hill called death hill and its just a fucking hill you know?

The slogan could be: "Not even microscopic games can hide from us"

This is the best, mainly because the slogan works really well.

The problem with running a gaming store is there is practically NO way to make money. Let me explain:

You make ZERO money from selling systems. What the store pays to get them is hat you sell them for.

Mark-up on new games is usually around 5%- that barley covers shipping the stock from the warehouse to your store.

The only thing you can make money on is accessories, with around a 20%-40% mark up depending, and of course

USED GAMES!

This is how Gamestop makes their profit. Used games have a crazy markup because they provide a "service" in giving you money/credit for you old games. In some cases buying a used game from you for $20 and selling it for $50.

So yeah, unless you have a shitload of used games to sell, don't expect to make enough money to stay afloat. Open a store that has a crazy markup percentage.... like cosmetics.

shotgun the copyright to gameage, everytime someone mentions it, i get 47 cents and a dimebag of dimenhydrinate in royalties

Meh, so they paid you shit, doesn't mean they make no money.

Shut up kid. You got proven wrong with a very reasonable argument. Get over yourself.

"The Gamer Pit"

"1337"

"This is a fucking game store"

That's all I got.
