Rabid Nerd is officially on vacation! 🏖️🤓 Eating Pizza 🍕

We’ve already had several people looking for computer repair and tech help today, and we definitely appreciate it — but for the next few days, we’re going properly incommunicado.

We’ll be back in town Wednesday and ready to start talking computers, repairs, tech problems, nerdy stuff, and arranging drop-offs again.

Until then, the nerd is off duty. 😎

Thanks for your patience, and we’ll catch up with everyone Wednesday!

ANYONE DOING 3D PRINTING?
Now that we have a 3D Printer and have discovered the local supply of in-person options for supplies is near zero, we're considering carrying them ourselves.

Filament - PLA, TPU, PETG, maybe 💩 recycling?
In sizes of 250g, 1kg..
Colors, Wood infill, Metallic, Stone, Silk..

Bambu (We have an A1), Creality, FlashForge, Ender..

Why stop at 3D Printing?

Some other fun are based on the same ESP32 boards:
- laser cutters
- plotters
- handheld game emulators

And we have a few in development ourselves.

We're finally getting our Makerspace vibe on.

Who's in? What do you make Union City?

Rabid Nerd has been in Union City for over six years now, fixing computers here on Main Street.
A few years ago we added snacks and science-y toys.
Recently, we added Rabid Dogs so you can get hot dogs with your pop & chips!
Now we're an official retailer for product lines from a company we've known behind the scenes for decades, the one behind Yankee Candle, Our Name is Mud, Jim Shore, D56 Villages and More!
Here are some products we have IN STOCK NOW:

We now sell Our Name is Mud, Yankee Candle, and Jim Shore products for gifting!

We HAD to get the Gnome for OBVIOUS reasons (cough Rabid Dogs, cough) and we hope you love our selection of irreverent mugs, but Yankee Candle fans - what are your favorite scents, and would saving a trip to Erie AND knowing about our standard TAX INCLUSIVE pricing policies (no "plus" tax here!) mean anything to you?

Let us know!

We're open Saturday and Sunday Noon to 4PM, and other hours for appointment for PC Repair drop off and pickup (still our core business!). And don't forget to pick up a $3 Hotdog from our Rabid Dogs concession while you're here!

01/11/2026

We are open for a soft launch today until 2PM!

$3 takeout hotdogs and $5 concession stand style meals!
ALL TOPPINGS INCLUDED even hot chili, cheese and sauerkraut!

We're a new sub-brand of Rabid Nerd, LLC and right in the front of the Rabid Nerd store at 5 N Main St in Union City.

We have regular hours, but are starting out slow as we get our operations in gear.

Come on down!
