GameStop says it doesn’t “anticipate closing a significant number of stores” this year after the closure of 727 U.S. stores last year, according to a recent filing. <\/p>\n
DALLAS \u2014 GameStop, the North Texas-based video game retailer headquartered in Grapevine, does not expect to close a significant number of stores<\/a> this year after shuttering hundreds of locations in 2025, according to a recent filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.<\/p>\n \u201cEach year, the company performs a comprehensive store portfolio optimization review which involves identifying stores for closure based on many factors, including an evaluation of current market conditions and individual store performance,\u201d the filing from GameStop states. \u201cThis review resulted in the closure of 727 stores in the United States in fiscal 2025. At this time, we do not anticipate closing a significant number of stores in fiscal 2026, as we view our domestic footprint as a core component of our logistics infrastructure strategy.\u201d<\/p>\n GameStop\u2019s fiscal 2026 began Feb. 1.<\/p>\n The update comes after widespread closures last year, including its store at Grapevine Mills mall<\/a> \u2014 leaving it without a retail location in the same city where it is headquartered.<\/p>\n While GameStop has significantly reduced its store count in recent years, the company\u2019s latest filing<\/a> signals a potential slowdown in closures as it reassesses the role of its physical locations.<\/p>\n The company emphasized that its domestic store network remains central to its strategy, even as it continues to evaluate performance and market conditions on a store-by-store basis.<\/p>\n
