How did you choose your store name? Since I have always loved books, I started out with Big Apple Books and the somewhat universal logo was of an apple with a worm coming out. As I moved into comics I changed to Big Apple Comics.
Big Apple utilizes its shelf space to great effect, giving the shop an orderly appearance.
The aforementioned gaming tournaments held in the shop take place here.
