Great Escape Superstore & Outlet Store NOW OPEN
THANKS, folks- IT WAS GREAT! We saw a lot of familiar faces from every phase of our 33-year existence- and we all had a great time at this "send-off" for this flagship Great Escape location.
While thus ending one chapter in the saga of The Great Escape, we'd now like to begin a new one:
The OPENING OF "THE GREAT ESCAPE SUPERSTORE & OUTLET STORE"- which has more than double the stock of our previous Broadway and Charlotte Avenue locations combined- and also features our newly resurrected "Great Escape Half-Price-Or-Less Store"!
Along with the thousands of used DVDs, CDs & Video Games, new and back issue Comic Books, LPs, CCG & Gaming, etc. that you've been perusing and acquiring throughout the years, this new, massive location (now with over 10,000 square feet) has many unique items that you've never seen in the past at EITHER the Broadway or Charlotte Avenue locations.
Extreme bargains in our "Great Escape Half-Price-Or-Less" store-within a store include:
2¢ Magic Cards, 2¢ Sports Cards, $1 Posters, DVDs for 1.99, 50% off Back Issue Comics, 50% off new & used Gaming & more!
Come check us out!

It's been great, folks! Hopefully we'll see you soon at our new home at 5400 Charlotte Avenue, where our latest incarnation opens on Monday, 10/18: The Great Escape Superstore, featuring twice as much stock as either the Broadway or Charlotte Ave. location had before- and the newest version of The Great Escape Half-Price-Or-Less Store, which is our bargain store-within-a-store that resides in the same building.

Letter from the company founder, Gary Walker
Thanks for all the kind words and memories about The Great Escape’s Broadway store, the closing of which has come as a shock to many of our long-time customers, former and current employees, and others in the community. We are very sad to leave the Midtown location we have enjoyed these last 33 years. And yes, the decision to move is based completely on an extreme rent increase which was presented to us several years ago (at the peak of condo-building and real estate speculation in Nashville). We did try to relocate within the area, but the expense of real estate and our inability to find a place of the right size and parking availability led us to this decision.
Again, we had no desire to close our flagship store, and we can only hope that most (if not all) of you all will make the 10 minute drive to our Charlotte location where you will find ample FREE parking, wider aisles, and a broader selection of both full-priced and bargain merchandise than any of our stores have offered in the past.
We would also welcome anyone to send us your memories, your photos, and anything else you want as we try to prepare a memorial to our Broadway store.
Thanks again for all of your support. Record & comics shops are disappearing every year (and we are both!), but we are committed to the future and look forward to creating new memories at our new & improved Charlotte Avenue location.
Sincerely,
Gary Walker
Founder

(Hopefully we'll continue to see you at our new superstore that opens at 5400 Charlotte Ave.- which will include the resurrected "Half-Price- Or-Less" store-within-a-store, plus tons of new, exciting never-before-seen product for your immediate perusal.)
During the final 8 days that we'll be in business at this location, we're throwing a "going away party" of sorts- by making ALL MERCHANDISE 25% OFF- and LEAVING IT ALL AT 25% OFF until we vacate the premises!

Great Escape Broadway Moving Sunday, October 17th
But, here's the good news--we'll reopen the very next day, October 18th, at a new location with a much bigger and better selection of product. Combining the inventory and staff with our Charlotte Avenue store, our new Great Escape SUPER STORE will have twice the store display area as the present Broadway operation. AND THERE'S MORE--for all you "extreme" bargain hunters, the facility will include an outlet store, a revival of "The Great Escape Half-Price-Or-Less store", which was discontinued a couple of years ago. The outlet store will be open seven days a week the same hours as the new Super Store.
STORE HOURS
Monday - Saturday 10 AM to 9 PM
Sunday 10 AM to 7 PM
AND MORE GOOD NEWS--there are plenty of parking spaces available at the new "Super Store", and we're easy to find just two blocks off Interstate 40.
After 33 years of operation in the mid-town area, we leave with a lot of great memories, and we're excited about this new adventure, a new era in The Great Escape saga.
Thanks in advance for your continued support and patronage. We hope to see you soon at our new address 5400 Charlotte Avenue, Nashville, TN.

Great Escape Charlotte Avenue REOPENS FRIDAY, 8/13
After spending the last 3 months cleaning up from the flood, we're excited to reopen with a fantastic array of newly-purchased stuff! Just in time for reopening day, we've acquired one of THE MOST AMAZING COLLECTIONS IN OUR ENTIRE HISTORY!
Presenting:
The ROBERT FRANZEN COLLECTION
The Robert Franzen collection makes up a large part of the more than 16,000 recently purchased DVDs, Video Games, Records, VHS and more being offered. The group of product represents a 25-year labor of love from an obsessive, condition-conscious collector, who bought-- and apparently never played or viewed-- the majority of the items that he managed to amass during that time.
16,000+ NEWLY-PURCHASED ITEMS AVAILABLE ON 8/13 also include:
- 3,000 DVDs
- 4,000 CDs
- 5,000 LPs (including 1,500 Bluegrass/Folk items plus 60s-80s Rock, Reggae, Jazz & Blues)
- 4,000 VHS (bargain and collectible)
- 400 vintage Nintendo and Super Nintendo Games in mint condition
- and more!
C'mon out and visit us, folks -- we'll be looking forward to seeing you after all this time!
