Peter Milazzo and his younger brother, James Leavy, had always loved the idea of opening a small business. Today they run Mayhem's Bookstore & Board Game Cafe in Lancaster, PA.
The store features a highly curated collection of graphic novels, comics, and manga, a collection of over 300 games customers can play in-store, and a full service cafe. With their prime location, and mission to “complement rather than compete,” Mayhem’s is perfectly situated to become a Lancaster staple.
I sat down with Milazzo to learn more about Mayhem’s origin and operation.
