Home News Gaming GameStop stores are turning into retro gaming cafes GameStop stores are getting big redesigns including couches and retro gaming stations By Derek Strickland from 1 day, 2 hours ago Comment | Email to a Friend Nintendo Switch Lite - Yellow Buy at Amazon for $199.96 Soon GameStop will be a place where you play games and also buy them. After years of falling sales and a crippling $500 million loss in 2018, GameStop is making big changes to its business. The company is restructuring its storefronts into gaming cafes with retro gaming, LAN play, and modern console gaming to keep consumers engaged. To pay for all this, GameStop is closing as many as 200 stores across the globe to fund these new expenditures.
I love the idea. I've been more into retro gaming and tabletop stuff the last over the last decade than modern gaming. I like that they are mixing it in. I think its a smart take on something thats missing from the market too. GameStop isn't doing well at all and I cant remember the last time I shopped at one, but I'd go here and take my kids in a heartbeat.
