Redcap’s Corner

The 3600 Lancaster location of Redcap’s Corner was our FLGS, so we were excited to go see the new location and decided on a whim to trek out on foot from CC to see it. And that detail is going to lead to the only real knock against the place, and I’ll get it out of the way at the start: this new location is not wheelchair accessible. (The old spot, like this one, still had an upstairs gaming space we couldn’t use, but we could still AT LEAST get in the door easily.) Luckily, my partner decided to wheel out by hand rather than motorized, because if she took her scooter, she couldn’t have gone in at all and we’d just have to turn around and go home. In the end, we did a little wheelchair juggling and got up the 3 stairs out front and then were fine.
Aside from that, everything about the new digs is an improvement. The space is bright with high ceilings, hardwood floors, and separate, clean bathrooms. The mini’s tables look brand new and are at comfortable standing height (tho that’s another knock re: wheelchair access) and there seems to be a lot of storage space so the place doesn’t feel claustrophobic at all.
As usual, there were female gamers there (always an awesome thing about Redcaps) and everyone we spoke to was great. The fella behind the counter was really helpful and friendly, whether we were asking about MTG booster boxes or that bit about «Maybe a wheelchair ramp wouldn’t hurt?».
Regarding that accessibility, he assured us that while he didn’t know specifics, it has come up in conversation and it’s being looked into. And, based on the store’s history, on the owner’s past transparency on things that mightn’t have been up to snuff, we have every confidence that it IS being looked into. (Hey, this is a shop that has Women’s MTG and LGBTQ nights at one of their locations! So, yay!)
In the end, the move seems very successful, and we’re very lucky we don’t have to stop visiting based on the accessibility issues, but it WILL slow us down.
Overall, good work, team!
