Founded in 1999, ThinkGeek is known for products that appeal to “geeky passions, stimulate imaginations, and fuel fans’ geek cores” from Star Wars light sabers to Game of Thrones tableware.
“The new ThinkGeek store is a welcomed addition for the geek in all of us,” Aiden McGuire, director of marketing at Destiny USA, said in the release. “ThinkGeek’s fun, clever, and creative gadgets and gizmos appeal to fans and shoppers of all ages and interests, and many of these products are exclusive to ThinkGeek and can’t be found anywhere else.”
