Happy Why Wednesday ❤️
This series is all about highlighting the real people and businesses that remind me why I (Breanna, AGM) continue to believe in this mall and our community, even on the hard days.
This week, I’m shouting out Ryan and his business, Sword in the Stone LLC.
Ryan is a model business owner. He’s intelligent, treats his employees well, and has a genuine passion for his products and the community. Sword in the Stone always has lines of people outside for various product drops, and they’re usually packed for events as well. Ryan’s only downfall? He always forgets to share late night event photos with us!!! 🤣
Sword in the Stone was previously located in Downtown Wilkes-Barre, just a block off the Square. Ryan purchased the business and eventually moved it here, opening at the mall in June 2023. His business has grown tremendously in such a short time, and he’s currently expanding! He will be opening a second location at Laurel Mall in mid-September. How cool is that?!
Ryan has fostered a super inclusive community in his space. If you’ve never played these games but are interested in getting started, I highly recommend stopping by for one of his events or even just to chat with Ryan and his awesome staff. They are all incredibly knowledgeable and always happy to welcome new people.
His store also accepts trade-ins for Pokémon, Magic: The Gathering, and more. They host events literally every day, including board games, Pokémon, Magic: The Gathering, Warhammer, and more.

Thank you, Ryan, for all you do!!!!!!
