A popular “geek” retailer offering graphic novels, action figures and a gaming café is coming to Harrow.

Geek Retreat, which is a chain of stores offering a hub to enjoy graphic novels, merchandise and board games, is coming to Station Road, Harrow, on February 26.

The venue would be a geek-culture haven to meet and make friends with others who share common interests.

Service firm Booker will provide food for the café at the Harrow Geek Retreat branch.

After opening up in Glasgow in 2013, many stores have since opened up across the UK – and the chain is on track to open a total of 100 new stores in 2022.

“Geek Retreat is the friendliest place to meet, eat, trade and game. Vibrant venues, comfort eats, non-stop sunny service and shakes."
