GameStop Shuts Up Shops but Opens Website
The United Kingdom gets taken seriously apparently
Swings and roundabouts, and an admission that bricks'n'mortar retail is in real problems. GameStop in the UK has shut its two shops and opened a new website.
According to MCV, "GameStop.co.uk will be run by the GameStop team in Dublin, Ireland, headed up by commercial director Mick Finucane."
“You can say the two events [opening GameStop.co.uk and closing the UK stores] are tied together a little bit,” Mike Mauler, EVP of GameStop International explained.
“From a bricks and mortar perspective the UK is saturated more than any other market we have done business in. We can offer a lot more value through our ecommerce and digital offering.”
