It's great to discover an independent card shop, and I always anticipate to find a more unusual selection of cards from places like this. Unfortunately, Crazy Cards isn't as mentally strange as I'd hoped, and the cards were quite standard and typical to most chain card shops. Having said that, the prices of cards do not replicate other shops; In fact, the cards are very inexpensive, and you can pick up most for around 70p.
On the occasion that I went in, the store was pretty much empty and very quiet. I think that if the radio was played in the shop, people would be more encouraged and enthused to browse through the shelves.
The general layout of Crazy Cards is also quite standard to most stores, but it's easily to navigate between each section to find exactly what you want. I also think that the store could be improved by selling a wider selection of party gifts, as this would bring in a different set of customers. read more
