Comic Quest to close doors after 35 years
Comic Quest, the premiere comic book and hobby shop in the Philippines, has announced it will permanently close its doors.
In a heartbreaking announcement on their Facebook page to their followers, Comic Quest stated that it was circumstances regarding the global COVID-19 pandemic that has forced them to cease operations.
The company's post reads, “We just want to let you know that because of the combined pressure of the pandemic, as well as the disruption of the global distribution of comic books, we've had to make the difficult decision to begin the process of closing down Comic Quest. It is and has been an extremely challenging time for us, and we feel that this is our best option moving forward.”
Established in 1986, Comic Quest has been providing Filipinos with the best comics and hobby products for over three decades. With three stores situated in Metro Manila and an online store, Comic Quest has long been the go-to shop for many Pinoys looking for the latest comic books, merchandise, toys, t-shirts and other hobby products.
“It has been a long and amazing road, from our earliest days in our first branch at BF Homes in Alabang, to Greenhills to Makati to multiple branches as far away as SM Cebu. But now the time has come to say goodbye, and let all of you know how much we appreciate being given the chance to be part of the comic book industry,” they added.
The store will be holding a special "Farewell Sale" from September 16th and into October at their SM Megamall branch in Mandaluyong City, where they will be selling all items from at least 50 percent off and up.
Comic Quest further thanked all their valuable and loyal customers and members of the Comic Quest family who have patronized the store over the years:
“We wouldn't have reached 35 wonderful years in business without loyal customers like you. Our sincerest and most heartfelt thanks for being with us through all these years. While our time in this wonderful industry comes to an end, we're wishing you many more years of happy collecting!
"And in the words of the great Stan Lee - Excelsior!"
