The Guild Behind the Games
More Than Just a Store
Founded in 2009 by a group of lifelong gamers, Level Up Hobby Shop was born out of a simple vision: to create a space where everyone—from competitive TCG players to casual board gamers—could feel at home.
We started in a small basement shop with just three shelves of Magic cards and a single gaming table. Today, we've grown into a premier destination with thousands of products and a dedicated gaming arena that hosts hundreds of players every week.
But despite our growth, our core mission remains the same: building community through the power of play.
Community First
We prioritize people over profits, fostering a safe and welcoming space.
Expert Knowledge
Our staff are passionate players who know their stuff inside out.
Our Core Values
Inclusivity
Games are for everyone. We strive to create an environment where all people feel safe, respected, and included.
Integrity
From fair pricing on singles to honest advice on games, we believe in doing business with transparency and honor.
Passion
We are fans first. Our excitement for new releases and tournament wins is what keeps our doors open and spirits high.
