Reading Time: 22 minutesKnown by many names, Gabi’s is one of the biggest pillars of our community when it comes to Thurston County. I have been going to Gabi’s since I was around 4 years old. I often went there with my mom’s ex and we would look at comics, games, and of course magic cards. I remember wandering around the store while he looked at cards, and I loved getting various things from the gotcha machines around the store. Going to Gabi’s was a big part of my childhood and I was always excited to go there.
