More space. More inventory. More opportunities. And the same mission of building a place where collectors and families can come together and enjoy the hobby.

Come see us tomorrow from 10–5 and help us close out the current shop the right way!

Then join us Wednesday at 4:30 PM as we officially open the doors to our new home!

🎉🎂 HAPPY BIRTHDAY, GEORGE! 🎂🎉

Everyone at The Vet Hobby Shop wants to wish a very Happy Birthday to one of our longest-standing and most loyal patrons — George!

George has supported us from the early days, and lately he’s gone above and beyond. He’s been a HUGE part of helping us get the new shop ready, putting in time, effort, and plenty of hard work to help us get across the finish line.

People like George are what make The Vet Hobby Shop more than just a card shop. It’s a community. 🇺🇸

George, we appreciate your friendship, your loyalty, and everything you’ve done to help us grow. We hope you have an awesome birthday — you deserve it!

🎉 HAPPY BIRTHDAY, GEORGE! 🎉
