The wait is over: A brick-and-mortar ThinkGeek exists in Georgia for the first time.

Luckily for Atlantans — and even luckier for Gwinnettians — it is located at the Mall of Georgia. 

The grand opening will be held from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m Friday, according to the Facebook page.

The first 1,000 guests at the opening will receive a free limited edition pin. Prizes will be given out. Cosplay is welcome in the store. (Note: masks and props are not invited in the rest of the mall). 

There will also be a sale.
