Gamer's Paradise

Established in 2019, Gamer's Paradise is a locally owned retro game store in Paradise, California, built from a love of video games, collecting, nostalgia, and community.

The story of Gamer's Paradise began after the 2018 Camp Fire. As a collector himself, Travis lost much of his personal collection in the fire and eventually began the process of collecting again. Along the way, he found himself with duplicates and started selling them online to help fund the search for other games and items he had lost.

What began as rebuilding a collection soon grew into something more. As Travis found himself buying, selling, and collecting more and more, he jokingly said that maybe he should just open his own video game store.

Later that year, during the holidays, that passing idea became a reality when he was gifted his very first business license, along with custom Gamer's Paradise merchandise.

And just like that, Gamer's Paradise officially began.

The first Gamer's Paradise storefront was a garage. Since then, the store has moved three times, growing and evolving along the way before finding its home on Skyway in Paradise.

Today, Gamer's Paradise is more than just a place to buy video games. We believe games are more than entertainment—they're memories. They're staying up late playing with friends, rediscovering a childhood favorite, finding that game you've been searching for, and introducing the next generation to the classics you grew up with.

From retro games and systems to toys, collectibles, free play, and our game room, our goal is to create a fun and welcoming place where gamers of all ages can buy, sell, trade, play, and connect.

What started with rebuilding a collection has grown into a place where old favorites are rediscovered and new memories are made.

We hope you'll stop by, say hello, and find a little piece of your own nostalgia at Gamer's Paradise.
