WPN Premium is a public recognition of the best game stores in the world. Premium stores offer consistent, world-class experiences to their customers and players—again and again.

Think you're ready? Great! Here are five things you should do before you apply—they'll save you some time later. (You may, of course, apply any time, even if you have not done all of these things—numbers four and five are not required as part of your initial application.)

1. Check your metrics.

We want to make sure WPN Premium stores have active, healthy play communities. Check out the requirements below, but note that, if you are close to the threshold, you are still welcome to apply. You can find your store's numbers in the weekly WPN Update email.

• 30 Engaged Players
• 1500 Total Tickets
• 10 Activated Players

2. Review the Quality Checklist.

The bar for WPN Premium is high. Store accessibility, exterior and interior appearance, event quality, and overall customer experience are all examined carefully. Use the checklist icon below for a look at what we’re expecting from WPN Premium stores before submitting your application.

If your store leaves a few of these boxes unchecked, or if have questions about any of the items, give us a call. Your Development Specialist will be happy to clarify.

3. Record a video walkthrough of your store.

We can't wait to see your store. When we review your video, we'll be comparing what we see to the Quality Checklist. (Note that your video will need to be downloadable, so Youtube won't work.)

4. Draft a floor plan.

You'll eventually be asked to provide a floor plan before receiving the WPN Premium designation. If you don't have a floor plan at the ready, no problem—these resources can help you get a head start on putting one together.
