Retro's: The Vault TCG 4.8(46)

The address on file for Retro's: The Vault is 115 Bridge St, Frankfort, KY 40601. Statewide, Kentucky accounts for 76 independent listings spread over 41 cities, plus 57 chain locations. The record carries a phone number and a website, so there are two ways to check something before setting out. Of the 2 Frankfort listings carrying a rating, this one is second by review count, with 46 behind its 4.8 stars. Classification here is trading card games — a directory-level label drawn from the business listing rather than from a stock check.

Measured from its coordinates, the nearest other shops in the directory are GameStop (under a mile) and Tales & Terrors Georgetown (17 miles). Frankfort holds 2 listings here — 1 independent shop and 1 national chain location — and this one appears first on that page. That order is a rating weighted by review count, not alphabetical and not by distance. The closest other cities with listings are Georgetown, about 17 miles out with 2 shops, and Lawrenceburg at roughly 18 miles. Hours are posted for 6 of the seven days; Sunday is marked closed. What the directory does not hold is inventory: there is no record here of what is in the case on a given day, which sets are open, or what the shop pays for cards. Call before you drive.
