hobby shops
Craft supply retailers
Hobby shops are retail stores specializing in supplies for recreational crafts and pastimes—model building, radio-controlled vehicles, miniature painting, tabletop gaming, trains, and similar pursuits.
They typically stock specialized materials difficult to find elsewhere and often serve as gathering spots for enthusiast communities: The local hobby shop hosts game nights on Saturdays.
