History

Gamers Link opened in 2013 and is run by the Holk family: a mother and her two sons. The founding idea was that gaming is about face-to-face time, and the shop was built to bring players together. One of the sons has played Magic: The Gathering for most of his life, and the younger brother, who was four when the shop opened, has been entering Magic tournaments since he was small and is now a regular presence in the store.
