New Hours & Schedule at the AU Wilmington Store

June 10th, 2011

With the coming of Summer we have decided to change the hours and schedule at the Alternate Universes Wilmington store to better accommodate the needs of our customers.  Effective this week the Wilmington store will be open on Tuesdays from 3PM to 10PM.  All the rest of the hours will remain the same.

As part of this change we will be holding Yu-Gi-Oh! tournaments on Tuesday night beginning at 7:00PM.  The tournament will be Advanced Constructed with each player receiving a Turbo pack for entering.  Prizes will be store credit based on the number of players.  This will be a straight swiss style tournament with no top cut.  We will no longer be holding Yu-Gi-Oh! Tournaments on Wednesday night.

A second part of this change is the switching of our casual Magic Night from Tuesday to Wednesday.   If you want try a out a new deck idea, play a little EDH or just have some fun playing casual Magic then this night is for you.  The festivities begin at 4PM and run until closing.  Bring your decks and give it a try!
