52 GameStop stores were shuttered by the retailer during the quarter ending August 3. The news was shared during an earnings call last week.
While GameStop did close down a number of outlets, it did open thirteen new ones around the world – seven in the US and another six internationally.
According to GameStop chief financial officer Rob Lloyd:
“We ended the quarter with 6,505 stores. We opened seven and closed 46 in the U.S., and opened six and closed six internationally. We still expect to reduce our store base by about 2 percent this year.”
