Great Escape Superstore & Outlet Store NOW OPEN

For those of you who attended our farewell party Sunday at The Great Escape Broadway, we wanted to say:

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!

THE GREAT ESCAPE SUPERSTORE & OUTLET STORE

Buying-Selling-Trading: DVDs, CDs, Video Games, Comics, Toys, CCG, Gaming, Books, Magazines, Memorabilia, more!

25% Off until Great Escape Broadway closes Sunday night, 10/17

Well, this is it- our final 3 days in business at the same location that has served the midtown Nashville area for 33 years.

Come give us a shout, share some memories and get 25% off all merchandise in the store at The Great Escape Broadway, before we close at the end of the day on SUN, 10/17.

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

Dear Valued Customer,

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

25¢ Sidewalk Sale/25% Off Sale Sat, 10/2 at Great Escape Broadway

First of all: we wanted to say THANK YOU to everyone who attended our 25¢ sidewalk sale at The Great Escape Charlotte Ave. a couple of weekends ago; this event was a huge success! (Hundreds of customers dropped by to pick up thousands of items at 25¢ each- and a good time was had by all!) Because of the response we got at the other location, we just had to let the The Great Escape Broadway have a 25¢ sale of their own, so we're now officially announcing the:

"EVERYTHING'S 25¢" SIDEWALK SALE on SAT, 10/2 at THE GREAT ESCAPE BROADWAY!

You'll have your chance to purchase thousands and thousands of items at only 25¢ each, including CDs, Comic Books, LPs & VHS Tapes!

We're also having a "25% OFF EVERYTHING-IN-THE-STORE*" SALE the same day (this Saturday, October 2nd) at The Great Escape Broadway.

Plus, we'll be opening an hour early to celebrate this momentous occasion (at 9 a.m.)- and keeping the sidewalk sale open two hours later than usual to give everyone plenty of time to load up on plenty of these amazing 25¢ bargain items (that are priced at a fraction of our already-low prices!)

Come early! Come often! 25¢ product will be restocked all day long!


Schedule:

25¢ SIDEWALK SALE
9 A.M. - 6 P.M.

25% OFF EVERYTHING-IN-THE-STORE SALE
9 A.M. - 10 P.M.

(Store opens 1 hour early only today for this event!)

Great Escape Broadway Moving Sunday, October 17th

The Broadway Great Escape is moving; Sunday, October 17th marks the last day of operation at 1925 Broadway.

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.
