GameStop will be shutting down three of its stores this week in Northern Ireland. This is part of the companies plan to focus more on selling serving consumers through its website. GameStop's republic of Ireland stores currently remain unaffected by this change.
Michael Finucane, GameStops Groups' commercial director in the UK and Ireland said, "the recent store closures in Northern Ireland are part of our plan, announced six months ago, to exit the UK market from a brick and mortar perspective. We started this process last year closing our Birmingham, Stockport and Belfast locations."
"The stores in the Republic of Ireland are not affected at this time," Finucane added. Correspondingly, we have experienced tremendous sales growth on our UK ecommerce site www.gamestop.co.uk. Our go forward plan is to serve the UK market with enhanced digital and online offerings."
