Geekopolis

Geekopolis is closing. Please continue reading for further details.

Before I opened Geekopolis just about 2 years ago, I had spent my entire working career in the field of IT. As many of you already know, about a month ago, I was offered and accepted an IT job in the Dallas area. The job is simply an opportunity I could not turn down.

Everyone's first response to the news was "Does this mean the store is closing?" From the beginning, the answer was always no. I've spent the last month preparing how the store would be run with me living 2 hours away. During that time, I've come to the hard realization, that the store is not yet autonomous enough to be simply handed over, nor will I have the time to devote to continuing to run the store in the manner it deserves.

I know that this news will come as a shock to many of you. I assure you all I did not reach this decision lightly. Honestly, a part of me feels I am letting down the communities we've built here, and I will struggle with that for a long time. However, at the end of the day, this is the decision that is best for me and my family.

We are open today, Sunday, July 5 under normal hours. However, due to the time restrictions imposed by moving and my attempts to do everything to keep the store open in my absence, I have left very little time to organize this. As of now, the store will be closed tomorrow through Friday, and all our future events have been cancelled. For those of you who have already paid for pre-orders or pre-registered for events, either stop by the store today or contact me through FaceBook here or email [email protected] and we will get you set up with a refund.

Finally, I want to thank everyone who has made this store something to remember from employees to volunteers to customers. I will always remember the amazing community we built. If you have any questions, please reply to this post. I will answer any and all questions you may have.

Thanks
Bryan
