We asked Bristolians their thoughts on the Excelsior store which opened on Friday (November 8).
The exciting new store is spread across two floors: the ground floor is the shop and the first floor is the new café.
The café serves cakes from Cakesmiths, a local small independent business.
Locals praised the spacious layout and the wide range of products, including comic, graphic novels and board games.

00:00Excelsior has opened its new store in the city centre. Let's find out what Bristolians
00:05think of the new store.
00:07I think it's great to see a store like this in Bristol. I think we definitely need it.
00:10I think there's a lot of creative things in there, a lot of fun things. Yeah, a bit more
00:15than just your average clothing store. So, yeah, really impressed.
00:19I really like it. I think it's really big and airy and open. It's quite nice.
00:24Yeah, we used to go to the old one quite a lot, but this one seems to have a lot more
00:28choice and a lot more variety of board games. I think it's a really good store. We like
00:32it a lot.
00:34I think it's really well sectioned into board games and then your comics, your Warhammer
00:39side and things like that. And, yeah, again, it feels... I like the old store, but it definitely
00:45felt quite compact. This doesn't feel like that anymore.
00:49It's really hard not to just buy everything.
00:52I was really surprised to see, actually. We were coming to Excelsior anyway, but coming
00:58around the corner and seeing this, I was thrilled, honestly.
01:00Yeah, nice surprise.
01:01Yeah. It's nice to have the bigger location. You can move around and touch all the games.
01:06And I like how it goes all the way around, so you can, like, oh, look at all the things
01:10that they've got around the corner.
01:14I think it's really good. Everything, there's so much more space. It doesn't feel as cramped
01:18and everything's in the same place, so you can just kind of wander around and see everything
01:22now.
01:22Yeah, the layout's really good as well, and it's easy to tell where things are.
01:26It's a lot more now as well.
01:28And it just looks a lot more inviting.
01:30Easy to find as well.
01:31Yeah, it feels a lot more spacious than the last place, and it feels, then, you get a
01:36bit more time to walk around and explore it as opposed to kind of being a lot more cramped.
