Gamer Doc(TM) Video Games Going Strong

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif., Sept. 3, 2009 - Gamer Doc(TM), the retail video game store franchise that delivers a new and interactive customer experience, is going strong in 2009.

"Despite the tough economy, our franchisees recognize that the video game industry is a bright spot in retail.

In addition to the Raleigh store, there are Gamer Docs open in Bear, Delaware; Burlington, Ontario; Highland Park, California; Miami, Florida; and Springfield, Pennsylvania.

Gamer Doc features Xbox(R) 360, PlayStation(R) and Wii(R) Gamer Centers, making it easy to find games, consoles and accessories for each platform. Custsomers can buy, rent, sell, play, pick-up, pre-order or trade-in a game, or drop a disc or console off for repair. HD flat-panel monitors and cables are also available, and the knowledgeable staff is happy to show customers how to hook-up their systems, share tips on how to improve their scores, try out new games, and answer any questions they might have.

"Video games are the category leader in entertainment, because they offer the best value for the dollar, and are a great way for families to spend time together," Belanger said. "At Gamer Doc, we understand that video games are popular with consumers of all ages. We make sure that our stores are the place where all players - from hardcore to casual to novice - will keep coming back for all of their gaming needs.
