April 16, 2026 - 01:17

For twenty years, a stretch of Route 59 in Naperville has been a haven for collectors and gamers, all thanks to the dedication of Tom and Laura Cialoni. The couple, owners of the local Disc Replay store, recently reflected on their journey turning a shared passion into a thriving community business.

The Cialonis emphasize that their success stems from a deep knowledge of pop culture and a commitment to customer service. They don't just process transactions; they cultivate relationships, often knowing exactly what a regular customer is searching for. This personal touch has built a loyal clientele over two decades.

Specializing in buying, selling, and trading movies, video games, music, and collectibles, the store has evolved with the times. While physical media remains core, they've adapted to market trends, seeing renewed interest in vintage video games and vinyl records. The couple cites this ability to pivot, alongside their hands-on management, as key to their longevity.

For Tom and Laura, the business is a true labor of love. They describe the daily joy of connecting people with nostalgic items or helping a new generation discover classics. Their story is a testament to the enduring appeal of physical media and the personal connection a small business can foster within a community.
