We're More Than Just a Store - We're Building Community
Here's what makes LemonJuice McGee's truly special: We're a safe harbor for everyone. Whether you've been picked on for loving that "geeky" book or show, the gamer who's tired of toxic online spaces, or anyone who's ever felt like they didn't quite fit in elsewhere - you belong here.
Since opening in 2020, LemonJuice McGee's has had a clear goal:
Of course we wanted to have the best in comics, games, toys, skateboards, and collectibles. That's a given. But most importantly, we wanted a safe place.
- A haven where Every Person is Welcome - no gatekeeping, no judgment
- Your passions are celebrated - not just tolerated
- Differences make us stronger - like any great superhero team
- Everyone has a seat at the table - literally and figuratively
The community support has made LemonJuice McGee's special, and now we're ready to take this vision to the next level with something even better.
Somerset is getting something truly special! We're not just adding a bar to a comic shop - we're creating the region's first inclusive geek culture pub. Where else can you:
- Discuss the latest Marvel movie over craft beer while shopping for collectibles?
- Host your D&D campaign in a dedicated space with full bar service?
- Attend WWE live events among fellow fans?
- Game with friends in a setting that actually gets your passion?
- Most importantly: Be yourself without apology
This puts Somerset on the map as a destination for ALL pop culture fans!
The Launch Timeline
After months of planning this epic upgrade, your support powers our transformation immediately. We're launching LemonJuice McGee's 2.0 in early July! Sometime this Summer 2025, the bar service goes live. We'll probably even need help creating and naming some drinks. Suggestions are welcome!
The Final Level
LemonJuice McGee's has always been about bringing pop culture joy to Somerset and beyond. Now we're taking it to the next level - creating something that doesn't exist anywhere else in the region. This isn't just an upgrade. This is our origin story for something legendary.
With your support, we'll launch LemonJuice McGee's 2.0 as the coolest destination in southeastern Kentucky. Comic shop by day, geek bar by night (or any time really), and awesome community space all the time.
Every franchise needs its breakout sequel. Help us make ours epic!
