In episode 8 of The Match Slip podcast, we're interviewing Aaron C. of Gamers Guild AZ located in Tempe, Arizona.
Gamers Guild AZ opened on June 1st, 2021. Aaron, Justin, and Erik founded it. Ryan, the initial investor in the company would later be brought on as the fourth owner of the store.
Aaron is the one owner in this venture who is not unfamiliar with owning a game store as he previously owned one earlier in his life. While admittedly Aaron considered himself not mature enough for running the initial store, the lessons learned would prove to be invaluable with the launch of Gamers Guild AZ.
He's a natural businessman who also owns a construction company that served as the gateway for opening the store. While he couldn't persuade angel investors in 2015 to fund a game store, he was asked to launch a construction company and did so in 2016. Aaron was able to use this business as a springboard for Gamers Guild AZ in 2021.
With a strong focus on community and a premium offering in everything he does, Aaron has helped build a successful and ever-growing business with plans on expanding to further metro areas within the next 20 years.
