Located in Salinas, CA, right next to Northridge Mall. I can only come here every so often since I’m not from the area. The good thing is that they are open everyday but they close super early at 7pm.

Great place me and my brother always go there to buy games and games are great quality and good customer service. For sure I recommed people to go here and buy games 👍.

★★★★★ Rigo, Aug 2025

I love this shop! They always have great Pokemon stock and the best part is their Instagram story updates where you can dm to purchase whatever you see and the Compa reels. The posts are clear and concise rather than spamming with a bunch of cards in one photo/video. The staff are friendly and very helpful.

★★★★★ Skyler, Mar 2026

My daughter and I go there often for Pokémon. Staff are super friendly and chill. They let us go slowly through the binders. Very clean and organized store. So glad to have GIC here! Reading through the 1 star reviews has me concerned. Seems like a different personality expressed by the owner in his responses.
