GameStop has been racking up store closures for a while, but a new shuttering is coming in its own backyard. <\/p>\n

The national retailer<\/a> that\u2019s been under pressure has shut down its store at Grapevine Mills, according to Simon, which counts the mall among its lineup of shopping centers. The shuttering was due to a natural lease expiration. <\/p>\n

The shop also happens to be in the same city as the company\u2019s headquarters: Grapevine. <\/p>\n

With the shuttering, there are now no stores in Grapevine listed for customers on its website. The massive mall is about an 8-mile drive away from the GameStop headquarters.<\/p>\n

The company \u2014 known in some circles more for its \u201cmeme stock\u201d<\/a> days and its push into Bitcoin \u2014 is a retailer that\u2019s faced challenges as consumers access different platforms that don\u2019t require physical video games to engage with their favorite titles. In its latest quarterly report, sales fell though net income rose as expenses declined. <\/p>\n

GameStop started in Dallas 45 years ago as a shop called Babbage\u2019s with the help of local businessman Ross Perot, an early investor in the retailer. The shop found success selling games, accessories and consoles for the Atari 2600. The release of the Nintendo Entertainment System later in the decade was a catalyst for a major video game sales boom. After Babbage\u2019s was acquired a handful of times and became a subsidiary of Barnes and Noble Booksellers, it was renamed GameStop in 2000.<\/p>\n

The company, which has thousands of sites, has been shuttering locations. During fiscal 2024, GameStop initiated a review identifying shops for closure \u2014 \u201cbased on many factors, including an evaluation of current market conditions and individual store performance,\u201d the company said in a regulatory filing. <\/p>\n

The review, among other things, brought on the closure of 590 stores in the U.S. in fiscal 2024. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe anticipate closing a significant number of additional stores in fiscal 2025,\u201d the company said in the filing. <\/p>\n

In place of the Grapevine store, Pop Mart will be opening in that location, Simon said. <\/p>\n
