Zack & Natalie Lawrence

Owners

Hello! We’re Zack & Natalie Lawrence and we’re the founders and owners of Montrose Game Corner. Our family has lived in Montrose since 2013, and we love the community here!

The journey to this point has been full of twists and turns, but it all started when I (Zack) became the first Pokémon Professor on the Western Slope in 2015 after rediscovering my childhood love of Pokémon, and I wanted to enjoy the hobby with others. Since then, we’ve been able to get to know many of the community that enjoy not only Pokémon, but Magic: The Gathering and other games too.

A lot has changed in Montrose since then, and game stores have come and gone. What’s become painfully clear to us is that Montrose needs a safe, fun, and permanent place for the gaming community of all ages to call home!

Whether you play Magic: The Gathering, Pokémon, Lorcana, or any other game, your support brings us one step closer to making that goal a reality! We look forward to serving you, and absolutely would love to hear from you about how we can best do that!

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you have a store? Where is it located?

We don’t have a storefront yet, but that’s the goal! With the nearest game store about 60 miles away, it’s become painfully clear to us that Montrose needs a safe, fun, and permanent place for the gaming community of all ages to call home, and we’re dedicated to making that happen.

As with any business, opening a physical location requires a lot of capital, which we’re carefully building up. Your support at this stage is vital to making this goal a reality for our community!

What games do you carry?

As you can see from our store page, we’re currently carrying games such as the Pokémon Trading Card Game, Magic: The Gathering, the Ultraman Card Game, along with TCG accessories such as sleeves and deck boxes. We plan on expanding into other card and tabletop games, though some, like Lorcana, require that we have a physical retail location. If there’s anything you want to see us carry that isn’t currently listed, please Contact Us and let us know so we can look into how we can get it!

Do you host gaming events?

While we don’t have a storefront yet to hold tournaments and the like, we do have places around Montrose that allow us to host casual events. These include monthly Pokémon play & trade days at the Montrose Library, and Magic: The Gathering drafts. The best place to find info for our events is on our Local Events page. Feel free to shoot us a message if you have any questions or requests for future events!
