🎲🃏🌱 ROOTED IN ROCK SPRINGS: THE DUGOUT

For some people, a local shop is where you stop in, buy what you need and head home. The Dugout is the kind of place where you might walk in for a pack of cards and end up staying for hours.

Our next Rooted in Rock Springs feature is Dugout Collectibles, located at 515 N. Front Street in Downtown Rock Springs. The longtime local hobby shop is packed with trading cards, tabletop games, miniatures, comics, toys, collectibles and plenty of other treasures for gamers, collectors and pop-culture fans. 

Whether your thing is Magic: The Gathering, Pokémon, Warhammer, Dungeons & Dragons, comics, miniatures or collectibles, there’s a good chance you’ll find something worth checking out—and probably something you didn’t know you needed until you saw it.

But what really makes The Dugout special isn’t just what’s on the shelves. It’s the community that has grown around it. The shop regularly gives local players a place to gather, play, trade, learn and meet people who share the same interests. In 2026, that includes a weekly Ladies Game Night designed to help women learn games, build confidence and become part of the larger gaming community. 

That’s something locally owned businesses can offer that’s pretty hard to put in an online shopping cart: a place to belong.

And The Dugout has been doing it for a long time. Business listings trace the shop back to 1995, meaning generations of Rock Springs kids—and plenty of adults—have walked through those doors looking for their next card, comic, game or collectible. 

That’s what Rooted in Rock Springs is all about. Sometimes supporting local means buying something you need. Other times, it means supporting the places that give people with shared interests somewhere to find each other and build a community.

So whether you’re a serious collector, a longtime gamer, looking for a gift for the resident nerd in your life—or proudly are the resident nerd—stop by The Dugout and think local first. 🎲❤️
