The Genesis of The Sage's Shoppe

The Sage's Shoppe began as an idea in the mind of a young man in the days before the magic of the Internet, personal computing and big box stores. his concept was to provide a communal space where friends and family could gather to pursue their table-top gaming adventures with access to the best resources available.

This concept took a long time to come to fruition. For a short while, The Sage's Shoppe was run as a mail-order business for the Sage and his friends from a PO Box in rural Indiana. Then other demands of life called, and for a decade the idea was set aside while education and family committments occupied his attentions; but at the turn of the century, the stars aligned and The Sage's Shoppe was reborn, this time as a store in the then nascent marketplace that was e-Bay.
In 2007, an opportunity to open a physical store in West Lafayette, Indiana, presented itself to the Sage and, with the help of friends and family, he launched The Sage's Shoppe Gaming and Tournament Center, the present iteration of his concept. The Sage's Shoppe GTC is a family owned and operated table-top gaming store based in West Lafayette, Indiana. It stocks the best in miniatures, paint and other hobby supplies, as well as board games, collectible card games, role playing games and other staples of the adventure gaming hobby. The staff is comprised of knowledgeable and experienced gamers; they aim to give the gaiming community the best experience to be found, which means not only the best products, but also the best service as well, and both in a comfortable and inviting environment.
