Central Gaming Corps, founded by Eastern Shore native Daniel Meeks, is more than just a game store—it’s a hub for community connection and creativity. Growing up on the Eastern Shore, Daniel spent his days exploring the outdoors, but gaming became an important outlet when there was “nothing to do.” It helped him forge friendships, develop critical thinking skills, and learn sportsmanship.

With a vision to share his passion and give back to the community that helped raise him, Daniel opened Central Gaming Corps almost five years ago. His goal was to offer the younger generation a meaningful alternative to screen time while creating a space where people of all ages could gather, play, and connect.

From running a youth chess club in partnership with the library to participating in local events, Daniel is committed to fostering a love for games and community. The store continues to grow, with exciting plans to vend at the farmer’s market in 2025, ensuring even more people can experience the joy of gaming.
