[Southpoint Spotlight] Guildhall Games: Playing a Supportive Role at Boxyard RTP

When Jacob Guild and his wife Nicole Frascino opened Guildhall Games at Boxyard RTP, they weren’t just launching a business, they were creating a safe, welcoming haven for underrepresented gamers and fostering a model for what accessible, inclusive retail can look like.

Inspired by their own experiences navigating disability – compounded by the challenges of long COVID – they saw an urgent need for a game store that not only embraced accessibility but actively championed it. The result is one of the Triangle’s most thoughtful and community-centered new businesses.
