CHIPS – Simply The Best CHIPS is celebrating after scooping Independent Retailer of the Year at the prestigious video games industry awards. The video games chain, owned by Nik Agar and Don McCabe, has 21 outlets nationwide stretching from Yeovil to Edinburgh and many more in the pipeline. CHIPS, an Associate Member of the British Franchise Association, was presented with the glittering trophy at the INDIN, the UK’s video game industry’s annual celebration, held at the Grosvenor House Hotel in London on December 11, 2003. “It was a genuine surprise to win this award and it is a fantastic Christmas present for everyone at CHIPS,” said Joint MD Don McCabe, who accepted the award from Mark Strachan, Chief Executive Officer of the Entertainment Software Charity. The awards were presented following a video address by Prime Minister Tony Blair to the industry’s movers and shakers. “This is the top award in the video games industry and we are delighted to be named as the best UK independent by the country’s top publishers and distributors,” said Don. “This is confirmation that CHIPS stores, both company–owned and franchise, are the very best in the country. We know it and our customers know it but it is great for this to be recognised by the video games industry as a whole.” CHIPS has six company stores, an award-winning e-commerce site, www.chipsworld.co.uk, and 14 franchise stores stretching from Yeovil to Edinburgh. Each store buys, sells and trades new and second-hand consoles, video games, accessories and DVDs. There are many more CHIPS stores in the pipeline and franchises will open in Sussex, Kent and Greater Manchester early in the New Year. “Inquiries are constant and this award should give franchisees great confidence in us and our business,” said Joint MD Nik Agar. CHIPS stores can be found in Middlesbrough, Stockton, Redcar, Darlington, Northallerton, Sunderland, Bishop Auckland, Chester le-Street, Consett, Chorley, Edinburgh, Guisborough, Hartlepool, Skipton, Stafford, Lytham St Annes, Arnold, Letchworth, Norwich and Yeovil.
