ThinkGeek Store Opening At Ocean County Mall

TOMS RIVER, NJ — If you have a fondness for anything geeky, from Star Wars collectibles to the latest DC Comics and Game of Thrones T-shirts, the Ocean County Mall has a store that will satisfy your geekiness.

ThinkGeek is opening Friday, April 21 in the mall, and proudly caters to fans of everything from Doctor Who (there's a crystalline Tardis that sells for $99) and Star Trek (hit the beach in a bikini that's inspired by those Enterprise uniforms) to Pokemon (make Pikachu ice cubes in a silcone mold) and The Walking Dead (don your Walking Dead boxers to watch the latest episodes).

The company appeals to geeks of other sorts as well, with a wide variety of scientific and science-inspired items, like a necklace with all the planets in the Earth's solar system.

The Ocean County Mall store is the first in New Jersey (there are 25 around the country so far).

The event begins at 10 a.m. and customers who attend the grand opening will receive a grand opening pin while supplies last. The first person in line will receive "a Golden Timmy" (Timmy is the monkey who is the ThinkGeek mascot).

"ThinkGeek is obsessed with creating and sharing unique and authentic product experiences that stimulate our fans' imaginations and fuel their geek core," the company says on its website. "Since 1999, ThinkGeek has been on a mission to create a world where everyone can embrace their inner geek and connect with one another.
