The Nerd Mall is the Voltron style conglomeration of several independent small businesses that teamed up to bring Nerdy/Geeky joy to all.
The oldest business is Tiki Tiki Board Games, which opened in 2011. Luke & Cade's Toychest opened soon after.
In 2016 Tiki Tiki and Luke & Cade's moved into the Polsky's Building together. It was around this time that the term "Nerd Mall" started being casually thrown about.
In 2018 ABXY Video Games joined the fray, and in 2019 SNIKT Comics made its entrance on the scene.
In January 2021 we made the name official as we combined and rebranded as the Nerd Mall. We did our very best to make our new logo look like lightsabers.
In December 2021 Nerd Mall acquired Game Alley converting the Penns Grove store into a second Nerd Mall location.
In November of 2023 we decided to close the Penns Grove location because the landlord wanted to use the space for their own business and there was nothing available that made sense.
In April of 2024 we added the Retroware Arcade to the lineup!
