If you could give out sick cash prizes as you do, making a store seems possible
Hi there! In case you didn't know, I created newgrounds. No, it wasn't made by some giant company - just some dumb kid who now has help. I also co-founded the Behemoth; we made Alien Hominid and Castle Crashers. Icon by Pegosho, banner by OmenaKettu.

I think it'd be a great idea. And if you opened up shop, I live in Philly, and I'd definitely stop by and lend a hand. NG is my second home, and I'd do whatever it took to help out. If you're interested, leave me a PM, and we can discuss how I can help you.
Do it! I know exactly where that is in Easton. It's not far from where Brave New Worlds is (and used to be.. next to the iHop). And if you need a clerk during the week, you're talkin' to him.
Also, there's more you can do with a store than just sell merch. You could host seminars for potential Flash developers/Animators as well as turn it into an animation studio in it's own right. There's gotta be money in the seminar idea.
The only problem I could think of that would lower sales is not enough merchandise variety. It'd be cool to use the "Everything by Everyone" philosophy and allow people to submit t-shirt designs, etc, and you guys would pick the ones you beleive should be in the shop... just a thought though.
sup tom i want to meet you for a long time and no i am not a girl! if you have aim my aim user name is upupboy123456789 ok tom if you want to talk to me when you bord o and um i need to talk to you private i need a faver form you

Seriously, DO IT!!!!
I've lived in Glenside for all my short, little life and, well, I don't need to tell you that the economy is nothing special. Just wondering...are you thinking of renting out that vacant store called "Roberts" or something.
If so, I need a job so hook me up if you do!
Well it might end up good or bad, the bad thing that could happen is the store could become good, and newgrounds.com would just be considered as a website for the store, and it will lose it's good name as a flash site. If it ends up good, then more representation for newgrounds, which means more users, more flash, and possibly more income.
Fuck yeah. Do it Tom.
I'd love to work there. :D
Tom dude please answer The message i PMd u
great idea but don´t take the risk i don´t want too looooooose newgrounds :´(
Do it.
That's all I'm going to say on the matter.
I'd definitely go there once or twice a year. It's only like a 2 or 3 hour drive. I'd get maybe like 5 things, so that's like 10 overall, if you can do math. Yeah, I'd run the shop too! Seriously though, if you can get people to go that'd be awesome.
like you said to silentwings: "A magical feeling" of going into a store and seeing things you never knew existed.
Come to think of it, it is actually really rare that you come across stores like that.
Making only one in the world makes it unique and if i were you, i'd be proud of that. Why? Because it means that lucky and special people will stumble into somewhere that they hoped they would see one day, but knew it was just a tacky fairytail wish. Like me, i hoped one day that Newgrounds would have an actual store, but unfortuneately, i'm living in the uk, so i'm well out of reach of that. One day, i hope to go that part of america and hopefully come across that shop.
As for now, i have come across a shop known as "The Mystery Star". And beacause that is NEAR where i live, that is even better. It's a gothic shop. Yes, not alot of people would be intrested, but like yours, its unique, special. And like i said earlier: that is something to be proud of. :)
I don't think that NG as it is now could afford a major screw-up such as not selling enough products.
Think wisely Tom.
wait until you get a much bigger source of income, then open a store.
as we can't risk any major screw-ups.
Hey Tom THANK YOU 4 new grounds please pm me i need help on submiting my short flash movies Plz help
A word of wisdom: Whenever you are unsure of what to do, make your mind go blank and think of the name jfella91. Then the answer will come to you naturally.
