Help Build The Fox Den — 1st Anime & Gaming Lounge
Help bring Spartanburg’s first anime & gaming lounge to life — a safe space to play, connect, and belong.
Project Description
Spartanburg doesn’t have a space like this — and it should.
The Fox Den Gaming Lounge is being built to give gamers, anime lovers, and teens a safe place to belong, connect, and unwind.
I’m Moe, a 100% disabled veteran and founder of The Fox Den. Gaming has always been more than a hobby for me — it’s been a lifeline. It’s helped me build friendships, escape stress, and find community during some of my hardest moments. Now I’m creating a space that gives that same feeling to others.
The Fox Den will be Spartanburg’s first dedicated gaming and anime lounge, This isn’t just a gaming lounge — it’s a space built for connection, creativity, and community. Complete with high-performance gaming PCs, console bays, tournaments, anime watch rooms, tabletop gaming area, cozy café seating, a ramen + energy drink bar, and a structured youth program in the future. It’s a space created intentionally for all ages — from high schoolers (15-17) to adults — with safety policies, supervision options, and clear protections in place.
We already secured our location, built our brand, created our loyalty program, and established partnerships for café items, merch, and equipment. Now, we’re raising the final funds needed to fully bring The Fox Den to life:
• Gaming PCs & consoles
• Secure check-in system
• Furniture & café setup
We’re close — but we can’t finish this without community support.
Your support will help us open our doors and give the community a safe space to play, learn, connect, and unwind — especially the teens who need somewhere positive to go after school.
Every contribution helps build something permanent for our city — a place where people can come together, feel safe, and truly belong.
If you believe in creating something like this in Spartanburg, we invite you to be part of it.
Be part of the origin story.
The Fox Den starts with you. 🦊✨
