Game Stop Closing Many Stores

Game Stop announced a flurry of store closings, with nearly 300 stores either already closed or set to close.

The closures come as the gaming retailer plans to downsize.

In the last fiscal year, Game Stop closed 590 U.S. stores.

Game Stop stated in a Securities and Exchange Commission filing that it would close a “significant number of additional stores” in the current fiscal year.

As of the beginning of last year, Game Stop operated 2,325 stores in the United States.
