In spring 2026, Astral Games completed a move to a new 10,000-square-foot facility at 827 S. Central Ave. in Medford. The expanded retail space replaces the business's former location at 125 S. Central Ave.
Why it matters
The relocation allows the company to support its continued growth while maintaining a central presence in the downtown business community. The new facility offers significantly more room for community engagement and retail operations compared to the previous site.
The new site offers 10,000 square feet of space, effectively doubling the capacity of the previous location. The business occupies the building that formerly served as a U.S. Bank branch.
