If you run a game store, hobby shop, or card shop in North Carolina, you already know the real challenge isn’t making a great store—it’s getting the right people to walk through your door. Players searching for “board game store near me” or “where to buy Magic cards in [your city]” need to find you before they can become regulars.
That’s exactly what Games and Hobby Finder NC is built for.
A Directory Built Specifically for NC Gamers
Unlike general business directories where your store gets buried next to nail salons and auto shops, Games and Hobby Finder NC is a dedicated directory for board game stores, tabletop and RPG shops, card game stores, comic shops, hobby and craft stores, gaming clubs, and more—organized by category and by location across North Carolina.
That means the people browsing the directory are already looking for exactly what you sell. There’s no convincing required — just visibility.
Getting Listed Is Free
You don’t need to pay anything to show up in the directory. A Basic Listing gets your store’s name, address, phone number, and website live and searchable, so there’s no reason not to start there today.
But if you want to stand out from other stores in your category — especially in busier areas like Charlotte, Raleigh, or the Triad — there are a few ways to boost your visibility.
Ways to Get More Visibility
Featured Listing — $19.99/month Your store gets a gold-highlighted listing, placement at the top of your category, and a spot on the homepage. Right now, new advertisers get the first month free to try it out.
Premium Package — $49.99/month Everything in Featured, plus the ability to promote sponsored events, showcase featured products, and highlight your social media links — with priority placement in search results. New advertisers get 50% off the first three months.
Event Promotion — $39.99 per event Hosting a tournament, release-day event, or game night? This gets your event promoted directly to local players actively looking for things to do. Your first event is free.
Featured Product Showcase — $29.99/month Highlight specific products — a new TCG set, a restocked game, limited inventory — directly in the directory. New advertisers get the first month free.
Homepage Banner Sponsorship — $79.99/month The highest-visibility option: your store front and center on the GHF NC homepage. New advertisers get 50% off the first month.
Why This Matters More Than General Ads
Running ads on broad platforms means you’re paying to reach people who may have zero interest in tabletop games. Every visitor browsing Games and Hobby Finder NC is already a gamer or hobbyist looking for a local store — which means your listing is working in front of a pre-qualified audience, not a cold one.
How to Get Listed
- Submit your store for a free basic listing.
- Decide if you want extra visibility through Featured, Premium, Event Promotion, Product Showcase, or Homepage Banner.
- Claim your listing if your store is already in the directory, so you control the details shown to customers.
Whether you’re a long-running FLGS or a brand-new shop trying to build your first regulars, getting found by the right people starts with being where they’re already looking.
