Hi I'm Tre Knightshaw and I'm not starting my business right now, but the goal is December 2026 or early 2027. My business is related to my interests, and my hobbies after school. I want to create a community and build an outlet with my business.

حل
There’s no age cut off but we target geeks ages 6-40 across the United States who are comic lovers, anime fans, collectors, and the nerd and geek community.
السوق المستهدف
Word of mouth,
social media, and
social events.
Geeks will feel supported and then want to support me and buy my products and be apart of the community.
التأثير المجتمعي
Toy stores, comic stores, and other nerdy stores.
Store #1 Books-a-Million
Store #2 Amazon
Store #3 Cast-away-toys
The difference between other businesses and mine is that I can connect and understand my audience and geeks that a lot of my other competition could not.

مدارسنا ومناطقنا
Many teens and young adults who enjoy anime, comics, and collecting feel judged by others and struggle to find a community where they feel accepted. Geeks feel like they cannot be themselves sometimes. I want to create a welcoming community space and store where people can connect, shop, and share their interests without fear of judgement.
I am a proud geek.
I know exactly how they all feel about not being able to share interests with others because you don’t want to get judged and just not being able to be yourself at times. My business is an outlet for geeks to build a great community. My mission is to create a safe, fun, and inclusive space where geeks can connect, express themselves, and feel proud of who they are. My message for my business is " No matter what you love, you belong here".
