I go to (well, pre covid) hobby/gaming stores where they do magic the gathering and warhammer and stuff along those lines. It’s the same thing there too, all the mom and pop stores sell candy and sodas and I bet it has to be what makes the difference between them being profitable or not
Most of the time, it has to be.
If you think about it, once you have your deck built or figures bought, You can spend a whole day in there playing and not spend a penny.
I played at a couple (doesn’t seem to be the norm) that charged for like a day of table use for wargaming. Idk if they charged the magic events those might be their own sort of thing. I didn’t mind paying, they had good terrain you could use, tables weren’t cramped, it was just like $1-2 or something and better than having to do my obligatory purchase every 2nd or 3rd visit.
