SHOP SPOTLIGHT
TRITEX GAMES
We caught up with owner of Tritex Games, Jason Thornton, about running this Friendly Local Game Store in Stafford
Interview by Charlie Pettit
Can you tell us a little bit about how the store first got started, and where it is now?
I used to work as a sales director in a corporate position, but my hobbies all revolved around my passion for gaming, Dungeons & Dragons and other tabletop games. Tritex Games was founded in 2004, at the time I was playing Magic: The Gathering and Blood Bowl a lot and I started buying and selling a few items on eBay. This quickly grew into a side-line online business. I traded on my website for a number of years with my family helping at shows until it became clear that I couldn’t continue to run the business by myself from home. In 2017 we opened our store in Stafford. I saw there was a real need in my hometown to have a place where people could go to play games in store and meet others with like-minded interest.
