Fort Worth, Texas—Fanboys Marketplace, the place to visit for all things pop culture, gifts, toys, collectibles and more, restructures their Hulen Mall location to focus on table top games.
Fanboys Marketplace-the umbrella company over smaller Fanboys stores, usually located in shopping malls-is focusing their Hulen Mall location on all things table top games. Fanboys Marketplace acquired Howling Mouse Games in early 2022. Howling Mouse Games positioned itself to be the place to go to for hard to find games, specializing in role playing games, escape rooms, and games such as Pandemic, Dungeons & Dragons, etc. Fanboys’ Hulen location will continue this effort.
Fanboys at Hulen will also offer a place to play those games, with tables set up in store for Dungeons & Dragons campaigns and more. Though Fanboys at Hulen will focus on serious role playing games, it will also have a wide selection of games that everyone can play at any age or level.
Brandon Hayman, who blogs for Fanboys says, “We want to make a space that encourages game play, without screens. A Fanboys unplugged if you will. The intent is to promote face to face game play, for family and friends, at all age levels,”
About Fanboys:
Fanboys Marketplace began in 2018 as Fanboys Comic Con, a series of pop culture conventions that took place at local shopping malls. When COVID-19 forced Fanboys to pause events in 2020, the company opened a storefront along South Hulen Street in Fort Worth to allow vendors to continue selling their collectibles, toys, comics and other pop culture inspired novelties during the pandemic.
Fanboys has since opened five new locations across the D/FW metroplex. At the end of 2022, Fanboys opened Fanboys Grill, a restaurant located in Fort Worth’s West 7th district. Fanboys also recently signed a 10-year lease on a new headquarters and distribution center located near Ridgmar Mall slated to open in 2023.
Fanboys Marketplace is the Official Toy Store of the Dallas Mavericks. Voted Best Toy Store by Fort Worth Magazine and Gold Winner of Best Collectibles Store in DFW by Dallas Morning News in 2021. Fanboys carries collectible toys from Funko to D&D! Find out more about Fanboys at www.fanboysmarketplace.com or on Facebook and Instagram.
