History
Established in 2015.
Jon and Sonya created Meeple Movers out of our love for board games. Meeple Movers was originally born in 2015, from a desire to offer the Friendly Local Game Store (FLGS) experience online, providing better customer service than big box stores and a relaxing, fun environment.
In 2016, Jon and Sonya started a local board game group. The group has grown to over 750 members and meets weekly. They host at each event with a selection of games to share and teach with others. The group has become a success, thanks to the commitment of its members for being friendly, inclusive and supportive. People of all ages join together to learn games and become friends.
In 2020, Meeple Movers opened it's first 'brick and mortar' location in Ocala. The store grew and in 2023 they moved to a new location on State Road 200 in the Shoppes of Paddock Park (Ollies Plaza) with a better facility, and now a selection of cafe items with a selection from pizza to pot stickers and craft sodas, beer and wine.
