Rippz is a modern twist to the local card shop that will offer a subscription service and Rewards!
Game Geeks News is proud to bring you another great gaming project currently running on Kickstarter. Karlton Jenkins “SLIM” has a true passion for collecting, with a history of collecting and trading of 20+ years. Everything from sports and trading cards, rare figures, coveted sneakers, pins, etc. His true passion for collecting came from when he was a child, living in the south of the US, with a strong imagination and a love for Pokémon. Slim has a surprise for the future of collecting and some interesting new upgrades. The team that is being built behind Rippz will be a unique one and will change the way we interact with trading cards forever.
This industry is an emotional and nostalgic space where people connect to images and rare items in a way that can only be described as raw passion. These hobbies thrive on the art and competition – whether its for bragging rights or emotional appreciation for the nostalgia. Slim has seen almost everything in this space; trends, artwork and emotional connections to these collectable items and feels the passion of the rare pull or the excitement behind building a great deck. In fact, now more than ever is the perfect time to innovate the collectable space and streamline the pack rip experience by making it more social, bringing the hobby to the next level – Welcome to RIPPZ.
RIPPZ retail stores will have a more modern feel – with wall mounted machines, a retail shop, media, bright lights, fresh air and friendly customer service. RIPPZ will dedicate themselves to be knowledgeable and bring new customers to the space no matter what age. They will be hosting an annual rewards programme (ex. Chase Card Challenge) and reward the winners with RIPPZ gear and a RIPPZ gift card. The space will be comfortable, social, secure and cashless. There first store will be located at a strip mall in the metro area of Mississippi and will branch out across the US depending on demand. So you can sit back in a private or open space while streaming your paqck rip experience with the world at RIPPZ!
Touch-Screen Vending
The first set of Touch Screen Vending will spread across the south to south east of the US – from Texas to Florida and move up the east coast. These machines will feature the latest touch screen vending technology that will offer an assortment of Trading Card Packs. The machines will be wrapped in RIPPZ advertising and filled with modern and ultra modern Pokemon, Panini, Topps and Magic: The Gathering products. The RIPPZ team will remotely track them to make sure they are stocked and secured. They will start installing the machines in shopping centres and strip malls to get a feel of the atmosphere. The next steps will be to incorporate the wall mounted machines in service stations where Pokemon is primarily sold. Within the next few years of innovation, alongside the rise of automated businesses, RIPPZ will rise with it.
Rippz Monthly Subscription Service
The monthly subscription service will be an opportunity for customers to shop with RIPPZ wherever the location. (US only) and will offer several packages and mixed bundles to choose from. You can choose one shipment per month, bi-weekly, or once a week – the choice is yours. Never miss a NEW release or worry about sold out products again.
