__**About Us**__

It was in 2007 when I, Khristian Oliveria (The Cool Mocs Productions manager and founder), met a person named Michael Ocampo. His nickname was Mocs. And we had very similar interests, and that’s gaming. The original name was ‘The Cooky Coos gaming shop’ as we had started a band called ‘The Cooky Coos’. We thought that we’d be a store that sells just about anything, but we had troubles with finance and everything. So we just stayed focused on the games. We did well. The first few months straight after we had just opened the store in the city of Melbourne, we’d have many customers visit our store everyday and sold many because of our specially-marked products. But then something had happened to the store, Michael had died from a car crash due to alcohol. This shook me, he was a dear friend of mine, and we had both set up our dreams working for video games and doing the things we love. And the after-effects weren’t too good either. Michael was always more popular with the people, and did well with advertising the company. And without him, our store had started receiving poor reception and less and less customers would visit the store every day. It was quite obvious that ‘The Cooky Coos Gaming Shop’ had started to die and it eventually did. So in the latter half of 2007, I closed the store and gave it up forever. I found other friends, Matthew and Dylan who were also Michael’s friends and were very willing to start a new shop. I thought I had given up the idea of being an owner of a Gaming store, but turns out I needed something like it in my life. Choosing the name of this new store was very difficult, but through many weeks of putting things together, we felt that we would call the store in honour of our dead friend Michael. And here we are now, 2010, called ‘The Cool Mocs Productions’ and we’re doing very well. We have over 5 stores all over Victoria now, and we just had some good sales this last Christmas season. I am manager of the store in the City, Matthew is manager of the store in St. Kilda and Dylan is manager of the store at Watergardens. We’re one of the best stores around Victoria, and we placed first in the Victorian Game Store competition. We’ve been asked many times if we can branch our store out to other suburbs and states, but we don’t plan to do that just yet. We’re doing fine as it is.
