[CODY SPENCER] Here we are at our newest locationon Capitol Hill.
It's our third location here at Pink Gorilla Games.
We have all retro games and new stuff,
gamer merch, everything.
Pink Gorilla started 18 years ago by a guy named Nathan and Greg,
who brought over their love of video games
from Japan and Japan's like meticulous care for these old retro goods
and brought that here to America to sell to everyone else.
The original founders sold the company
to Kelsey and myself about six years ago.
[KELSEY LEWIN] This one is multi regional, Okay.
Hi I am Kelsey
I'm one of the owners of Pink Gorilla games.
I've been playing video games my whole life.
I've always been really interested
in kind of the stories behind video games and what brings people together.
So I loved being a part of this world, kind of bringing people around Seattle
together and learning, you know, what makes them what video games too.
We sell all kinds of video game consoles here.
They all come with one controller and all the cords, all tested and everything.
This is our rare case.
It's not all rare, but it's all like
sort after stuff in here, brand new stuff as well for newer consoles.
So we sell, you know, Xbox One games, Xbox Series X Games. Nintendo 64
is always a really hot seller for us, as well as Super Nintendo
and the original 8-bit Nintendo as well.
We've got just all kinds of boxed games here as well.
So we've got three locations with Pink Guerilla.
We've got one in the University District, which is our largest location.
We've got one in the international district,
which is our very first location and our newest store here is in
Capitol Hill, which we just opened in January 2023.
[CODY SPENCER] Pink Gorilla would not be what it is
without like big companies like Microsoft, you know, Xbox and Nintendo.
Of course, all these gamers bringing their stuff to us and supporting us.
It allows us through that volume to provide the best service
and best inventory.
[KELSEY LEWIN] And I think that's only possible because of Seattle.
We've got a huge, thriving community of people who play games, people
who make games, people who are involved with games here in Seattle.
And that kind of makes it an exciting place to be a game store.
