Case Study: R-CADE Glasgow grows merch sales and scales easily with Gelato

R-CADE Glasgow scales merch line over 7 years with Gelato

R-cade Glasgow, a retro gaming arcade and community hub, faced the challenge of expanding its merchandise offerings without being overwhelmed by the logistical complexities of inventory management and shipping. The arcade's owner, Andrew Faulkner, wanted to focus on design and community rather than operational hurdles. He turned to Gelato's print-on-demand service, integrated with his existing Wix site, to solve this problem.

By implementing Gelato's solution, R-cade Glasgow was able to effortlessly offer a high-quality line of nostalgic apparel, prints, and canvases. This allowed the business to scale its merch operations as a strategic revenue stream without additional staff or space. The result was a phenomenal customer response, particularly to the A3 canvas prints, and the creation of a manageable, long-term part of the business that supports its primary community focus.
