The Whiz Store on Route 9 East in Westborough: MA Gaming Spotlight

July 30, 2010 Jonathan J. Reinhart 1 Comment

After work today I visited The Whiz Store on Rte 9 East in Westborough (NOTE: FoW fans will know The Whiz from the FoW website because they hold FoW regional qualifiers). I have been following them on Facebook for many months and chatted online with one of their regulars. Everything online sounded amazing and to top it off they’re doing a sale 20-80% off.

It is a huge store taking up two normal storefronts. I don’t know its square footage but it has to be a lot. The store sells a variety of products from greeting cards and beanie babies to model trains and Flames of War. It feels like at its heart it is a traditional hobby store that is branching into gaming. The majority of floor space is for traditional hobby products (models, paint, terrain materials) mixed with educational toys. There is a handful of gaming tables, 4×4 in size, with terrain on them scattered throughout the store. Display counters with beautifully painted models are some of the first things to see as you enter. A medium sized game room in the back was filled with orderly magic players. The most notable thing about the store is the quiet. Twenty plus people were playing Magic, a handful plopped elsewhere, but the entire store was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
