Paul Tarasco-Fittock took a risk by quitting his longstanding job as a veterinary nurse to open Geek Store Stuff in early June.
When the Chronicle visited the new store in the Harris Arcade on Friday afternoon, July 24, there was a queue of customers waiting to be served.
Paul spent 11 years working as a veterinary nurse before putting that all behind him to open the Pokémon shop.

Paul previously told the Chronicle he has had a lot of support from Poké Void, a Pokémon club based in Reading, and he had ambitions to collaborate with the club to run events at Geek Store Stuff.
