Geek Retreat - which specialises in comics and memorabilia - says it will open another 100 stores in UK over next two years

From online fashion to grocery, only a handful of sectors have bucked the coronavirus downturn, and now it seems comics and gaming have joined the list.

The Scottish firm currently has 14 UK sites, which combine retail space with cafes and areas to play games and hold events."During the pandemic, while our gaming events have had to stop and the hospitality side of our business is more difficult, our stores still have loyal communities who support our retail side," Geek Retreat boss Peter Dobson told the BBC.

Countless High Street businesses had to close temporarily during lockdown, and many remain under pressure as shoppers minimise social contact. It also specialises in various cult brands such as Dungeons & Dragons, Star Wars and Harry Potter, while selling graphic novels and gaming accessories such as dice.
