Providing customers with food, drinks and a massive collection of board games, the café later added video games, arcade games and a virtual reality set to its entertainment roster

The downtown storefront has been put up for sale in hopes that it will be bought by someone who “might be looking to take on a new business venture and carry the cafe into the future.”

The post added that the café will have its last day on Aug. 3 when it hosts the Cardstock Music Festival, an all-day event featuring local musicians, board games and a silent auction in support of El Sistema South London.
