New board game lounge and store to open Sunday in BayTowne Plaza
Oct 09, 2024
PENFIELD, N.Y. (WROC) — Opening Sunday in BayTowne Plaza, GameTopia! The store is near the H&R Block and karate studio.
Owner Joshua Stein built the business to combine the best of three worlds: you can get food and drink, play a board, trading card, or tabletop game inside, and then you can buy it after!
"It seems more convenient and a better idea to just do these things together," Stein said on-site Wednesday.

Currently, the business will serve beer and wine — Stein says wine slushies are on the menu as well — and has a small but curated sandwich menu.
"When it came down to it, I really wanted a game store I could have a beer at, and nobody in town wanted to do it, so I did," he said.
The business will be open most days from 1 p.m. - 10 p.m. Stein says that eventually GameTopia will have a full liquor license.
