A message from Tyler,

In the midst of all of this summer heat, I can only hope that everyone is remembering to treat themselves to the occasional movie 😉 August is well underway and is proving to be a fantastic month for new releases!

FOR THE GAMERS:

Unfortunate no new games this week but keep your eyes peeled for some big names later this month as well as several huge releases in September (including NHL 12!). To pre-order any upcoming game title, please call us at 807-230-9093. No deposit or down payment required!

ON ICE

NHL 12 is promising to be such a big deal that we may just end up opening the store at midnight to let the hardcore fans get a quick fix on what should be a very popular game!

The details are still very sketchy, but it appears as though the NHL 12 tournament will be happening in late September. As always, stay tuned to the Crossover Insider on OntarioNewsNorth.com for more details as they become available!

TASTY ARRIVALS

Later this week, we will be receiving a rather large shipment of new candy! Some items to look for include Clove Gum (a nostalgic gum first produced in the early 1900’s), Almond Joy (a very popular American bar featuring Almonds and coconut) and Dentyne Classic (the original cinnamon flavoured Dentyne from the early days!)

Here are our top 10 rentals from July:

Have a safe week and don’t forget to support your local businesses!
