RICHLAND TWP., Pa. – A global retailer’s brick-and-mortar footprint continues to dwindle in the region.
A location of GameStop, a retail chain where customers can buy and sell video games, video games consoles, collectibles and more, will close on Wednesday, Jan. 7, at 210 N. West End Blvd. in Richland Township.
The store operates in the Trainer’s Corner shopping center.
“Thank you for being a loyal GameStop customer,” storefront signage reads.
“Although this store is closing on Jan. 7th 2026, we look forward to seeing you at: 2333 Welsh Rd, Lansdale, PA 19446 or another nearby location.”
GameStop offers a wide array of new and pre-owned graded trading cards such as Pokemon and Yu-gi-oh!; video games such as Madden NFL 25 and Super Mario Party Jamboree; and video game consoles including Xbox Series X, PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch consoles
Customers also can shop virtual reality hardware and collectibles such as Star Wars, Superman and Transformers action figures.
GameStop’s brick-and-mortar footprint has continued to decrease over the years.
In February 2025, GameStop offered games and entertainment products in more 3,200 stores worldwide, with more than 2,300 of those stores operating in the United States, according to a United States Securities and Exchange Commission filing from March 2025.
These totals were down from the more than 4,100 global stores and more than 2,900 U.S. stores that operated in February 2024.
In the same March 2025 filing, the Grapevine, Texas-based company said that it anticipates closing a “significant number” of additional locations in the coming months.
GameStop, which had more than 6,600 stores operating in 2015, on Dec. 9, released financial results for its third quarter 2025, which ended Nov. 1.
Net sales were $821 million for the period, compared to $860.3 million in the prior year’s third quarter.
Also, selling, general and administrative expenses were $221.4 million for the period, compared to $282 million in the prior year’s third quarter, and operating income was $41.3 million for the period, compared to an operating loss of $33.4 million in the prior year’s third quarter.
GameStop’s brick-and-mortar footprint has continued to dwindle in the region, with Lehigh Valley locations in Bethlehem and South Whitehall townships closing over the past few years.
According to a worker at the Richland Township store, the upper Bucks County location has garnered high foot traffic and sales in recent years, and the reason for its upcoming closure stems from a lease disagreement.
In addition to the Lansdale location of GameStop, other nearby stores operate on Airport Center Drive in Hanover Township, William Penn Highway in Palmer Township, Nazareth Road in Lower Nazareth Township, MacArthur Road in Whitehall Township, Mill Creek Road in Lower Macungie Township, Holly Road in Gilbertsville, at the Lehigh Valley Mall in Whitehall and Airport Square in Montgomery Township.

The Trainer’s Corner shopping center is home to roughly two dozen tenants, including other chains such as Kohl’s, Michaels, Petco, Gabe’s, Rally House, Five Below, Famous Footwear, Starbucks, Five Guys, Bubbakoo’s Burritos and Jersey Mike’s Subs.
A location of Dave’s Hot Chicken, the fast-casual chain specializing in jumbo hot chicken tenders and sliders, opened in the Trainer’s Corner last year.
