Hometown Business & Community Pride in McCook, Nebraska

Tanner & Cody

The game has only just started for GAME ON GAMES.


McCook natives and Bison graduates Cody Dame and Tanner Lytle have come a long way since winning the Hormel Business Plan Competition. In June of 2007, the dynamic duo blew the judges away with their proposal to create an interactive gaming store in McCook.

Cody and Tanner are now the owners and operators of a thriving one-stop gaming shop, located 220 Westview Plaza in McCook. Alongside the physical store, the guys run a successful online community and retail website www.gameongames.com, where gaming aficionados can connect, network, and purchase their favorite games.

While video games are the core of the operation, GAME ON also carries a wide selection of board games, card games, and even sports games, such as disc golf. Every week, gamers gather at the retail store for a variety of gaming tournaments and other entertainment and networking events.
