Mass GameStop Closures Are Underway

Sadly, each time we report on GameStop lately, it doesn’t are typically all that optimistic. Such is the case right this moment as we’ve discovered that tons of of brick-and-mortar GameStop places are being shuttered all throughout the US. Experiences allege as many as 390 to 400 shops have gone the best way of the dodo.

GameStop has been no stranger to retailer closures, however this can be a notably aggressive wave of shutterings if the experiences are true. What’s extra, these closures coincide with a $35 million incentive being supplied to CEO Ryan Cohen to extend the corporate’s market cap by 950 %. With a present price of $9.52 billion, GameStop… clearly has a methods to go. Nonetheless, it does go away one to marvel if these closures are not less than partly an effort to get Cohen nearer to his $35 million prize.

Whatever the motivations, these closures are sadly simply a part of an ongoing downward trajectory for GameStop, the final remaining bastion of retail devoted to promoting video video games.
