The General Store Spokane

A Spokane landmark since 1946 that doubles as a surprisingly deep TCG destination, carrying Pokémon, Magic: The Gathering, Disney Lorcana, One Piece, Yu-Gi-Oh!, and LEGO alongside its Ace Hardware and sporting goods roots.

The General Store Spokane defies expectations. At first glance it’s a family-run Ace Hardware and outdoor outfitter that’s been a north Spokane fixture since 1946, but step into the toy and gaming section and you’ll discover one of the area’s most well-stocked trading card departments. The store carries a full range of Pokémon TCG products — from booster packs and Elite Trainer Boxes to special collections and Japanese imports — alongside Magic: The Gathering, Disney Lorcana, One Piece TCG, Yu-Gi-Oh!, and a selection of other collectible card games. The LEGO section is massive, and the overall toy department rivals dedicated toy stores in breadth. What makes The General Store special is the combination of community roots and modern hobby retail — you might walk in for a box of screws and leave with an Elite Trainer Box. The staff in the toy and card section is knowledgeable and genuinely enthusiastic about helping collectors find what they’re looking for. Pricing on TCG sealed product is competitive with online retailers, and the store’s online shop expands access beyond the Spokane metro. With hours from 8AM to 8PM seven days a week, it’s one of the most convenient stops in town for a quick card run.
