Tails 6,692 Posted February 13, 2013 GameStop has announced that it is preparing to close 250 stores. The retail chain says that only 50 of the closed stores will be outside of the US. GameStop CFO Rob Lloyd says that the stores which will be closing as those that are unprofitable and those that are marginally profitable stores, mainly in areas with an alternate GameStop store nearby. He announced that the firm will be opening around sixty to seventy new stores. They’ve also got the acquisition of 40 stores in France from the European retailer GAME.

Oishii 3,987 Posted February 13, 2013 In my town we have two Gamestops that are within a three minute drive of each other. It's really pointless. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HarLea Quinn 26,501 Posted February 13, 2013 WHAT!? They're closing stores, yet opening new ones? Why not keep the stores open then? Well considering my town has 3 Gamestops within a few miles of each other I'm guessing that's why . It's unneccessary . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
