Our family has been in this industry serving Forest Lake and surrounding communities since 1984. Game Collectors Cabinet was built from the ground up—no handouts, no shortcuts—starting right in a living room with a single game cabinet and a vision. Raised in the media trade by parents who paved the way, gaming is literally in our DNA. We combine second-generation trade knowledge with hands-on corporate video game QA experience to deliver the ultimate local source for retro & modern video games, TCG singles, collectibles, and local artisan goods. Competitors might think we’re the new guys, but we’ve been living this trade for over four decades. 

Born in the Business

Our family has been in this industry serving Forest Lake, Minnesota and surrounding communities since 1984. Gaming isn't a trend we jumped on—it’s literally in our DNA. We grew up in classic video stores, worked the counter at Blockbuster, and spent over two years testing titles directly for Activision QA.

But legacy didn't mean handouts. Game Collectors Cabinet was built through pure grassroots grind, starting in a living room with a single game cabinet. We took a lifetime of retail experience, paired it with corporate-level QA precision, and built this operation brick by brick from the ground up.

Competitors looking at our momentum might think we’re the new guys on the block. The reality? We’ve been living this trade for over four decades.

Proudly serving Forest Lake, Centerville, Lino Lakes and our local Minnesota neighbors, we bring real industry authority to retro games, TCG, and collectibles!
