In the heart of Atlanta, Cards HQ has redefined what a modern trading card store can be. This expansive retail space isn’t just a place to buy cards—it’s a full experience for collectors, competitors, and casual fans alike. From the bold branding to the organized layout, every element is purposeful—and much of that success comes down to smart store planning and high-quality fixtures.

Our team was proud to help bring the vision to life with a mix of stock, custom, and semi-custom fixtures tailored to the unique needs of a high-volume card shop.

Cards HQ isn’t just a retail store—it’s a community hub. Between the rows of product displays are long white event tables and lounge-style areas for trading card tournaments and game nights. Our team helped plan for flexibility, ensuring fixtures wouldn’t limit future growth or event setups.

By using a mix of standard and custom solutions, we helped Cards HQ balance modern aesthetics with serious functionality.

As a destination for sports cards, Pokémon, Magic: The Gathering, and more, Cards HQ needed fixtures that could grow with them. From integrated signage and LED-ready cases to adjustable shelving for evolving products, our team ensured every fixture choice added long-term value.

We’re proud to support retailers like Cards HQ who are elevating the customer experience in niche retail spaces.

With thousands of cards, accessories, and collectible products on display, organization is everything. Cards HQ used a strategic combination of fixtures to support their product categories and foot traffic:

• Black Metal Gondola Shelving: Fully branded with aisle markers and signage, these custom-painted gondolas are the backbone of the card display area. Their double-sided design creates a natural flow and clean presentation.
• Glass Tower Showcases: Used to house high-value inventory with maximum visibility and security, these vertical cases allow customers to browse without compromising product safety.
• Slatwall Panels with Custom Graphics: Slatwall lines the perimeter with playful murals and flexible shelving—ideal for boxed sets, merchandise, and accessories.
• Custom Service Counters and Merch Islands: Modular cash wraps and product tables help segment the space and support high-traffic events like trade nights and tournaments.
