History

Established in 1981.

The Wizard’s Chest is a well-​known specialty store with a thirty year history. The store’s beginning was in an 850-​square-​foot space in 1983.

Originally inspired by J.R.R. Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings trilogy, the store capitalized on the idea of an imaginary world in a place called Middle Earth — a fantastical escape from the cold concrete of the ‘real world’; a place where the childish spirit could run free.

A hands-​on play environment exists throughout the whole store. Chessboards sit out on tables and invite friendly games between customers and/​or the staff. In-​store tournaments for collectible cards games have become a weekly ritual in our open-​play area. The store continues to have weekly Yo-​Yo and Juggling Clubs, which meet weekly and are well attended by young and old alike.

Over the past 25 plus years, the store and its customers have literally grown up together. Three generations of customers grace the store with their laughter and joy.

Winchester the Wizard may be the creative, magical force behind the Chest, but it is his apprentices, Clumberclitch and Vercingetorix, who work on the sales floor and wreak the majority of the havoc.
