Our Story

Retro Games Plus, founded in 2008 by owner Kris Krohn, is an independent video game and collectibles store.

From our humble beginnings in a 600-square-foot shop in Westport, CT, in 2011, we expanded to three more locations in Connecticut: Norwalk, Orange, and Newington.

In 2015 Retro World Expo was founded with partners and is an annual video game convention held in Hartford, CT.

Our first California location opened in Huntington Beach in 2018, followed by our Lawndale location in 2022.

In 2023, SoCal Gaming Expo, the largest retro gaming convention in Southern California, was purchased with a few partners.

Also, in 2023, the Pixel Podcast was formed, the Premiere Gaming Podcast in the country, which our owner is a part of.

Retro Games Plus was created from an avid love of video games and vintage toys and each store is a personalized experience that is a tribute to the classic games and collectibles many of us grew up playing with and collecting.    

We could not have grown without the tremendous support from the incredible gaming community and we thank every customer for their amazing support over the years!

Our Mission

At Retro Games Plus, we are passionate about preserving the legacy of video games and the joy they bring to every generation. Our mission is to create a welcoming community hub where gamers of all ages can discover, relive, and share the magic of classic and modern gaming.

We are dedicated to offering a diverse selection of retro and current video games, consoles, and collectibles, providing expert knowledge, and fostering a nostalgic, yet forward-thinking gaming culture. Our goal is to connect people through the timeless experience of gaming, one pixel at a time.
