KD Games has several anniversaries, recently we had our first year at our current venue of 32a High Street in Shoreham and later this year will be the 12th year since we rebranded to KD Games, but this week it 18 years since we opened our doors on our very first shop Kids Dreams in 2007.
Originally we opened as a toy shop selling traditional and pocket money toys but it was not long before we started selling or first gaming products from of course Games Workshop followed very quickly by Magic the Gathering and Pokemon.
A lot has changed since then both in what we sell and how we operate. As KD Games, we stopped selling toys and have concentrated on board games, tabletop and card games. We have been in many different locations and served many many different people and are delighted to still be here 18 years later.
I have lost count of the amount of games we have sold and the amount of different events, clubs, tournaments and demonstrations we have run over the years.
I have had the pleasure of knowing some of you since those very early days in Hove and in many cases seen people that started playing when they were just children go on to still enjoying games in to their adulthood.
As a community you have been a big part of my families lives, my children have grown up during this time and I have had the pleasure of seeing many of your families grow too. I have made so many good friends during this time, it has been great sharing the good times with you and I have been grateful for the support many of you have shown us through the harder times.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of our customers; old and new for spending your hard earned money with us and making the last 18 years so much fun. I look forward to many more years of gaming to come.
