POCATELLO — Xtreme Collectibles in downtown Pocatello is the place to fulfill any collector’s needs.
Kevin Wallin, owner of the store, said he supplies all sorts of collectible items, including baseball cards, Pokémon cards, autographs and comic books.
“I also have some other stuff,” he said. “We have Mickey Mouse watches and other Disney watches.”
Wallin is originally from Ogden, Utah, where he had a store like this one. He then had a store in Las Vegas before coming to Pocatello.
“It was something I had done for three or four years and I decided to open the store again,” he said. “It was something to do.”
Wallin said his favorite part of operating his business is the opportunity to meet new people. He also likes being able to supply something that people might not be able to get anywhere else.
“You get to talk to new people,” he said. “I enjoy the whole thing.”
Wallin said he has enjoyed the work environment of Pocatello. So far, news of his business has gotten out via word of mouth.
“We have a lot of stuff,” he said. “Word of mouth is starting to be a big thing.”
Wallin said so far his business has been well received. He has had customers who were both local to Pocatello and customers from out of town.
“We get a lot of people who are traveling through town,” he said. “People can easily stop here. I get a lot of business from local people, too.”
Xtreme Collectibles is located at 427 N. Arthur Ave., Suite B, in Pocatello. More information about it can be found on the website, xtreme-collectibles.business.site.
