GameStop, 1725 Broad River Road: 14 January 2025 3 comments
GameStop has been up and down over the last few years. I think people are playing fewer games sold on media vs downloading, but in the other direction, there was a really crazy run up on the stock price a few years ago as well.
A YouTube Short claims this one closed on 14 January 2025, which I can't verify in any other media, but it is definitely closed now.
I'm guessing this might have been the new location for the Dutch Square GameStop which closed in 2010, but I don't really know.

This actually originally opened as a GameStop and movies location, a brief attempt to also sell used DVDs in addition to games. I think the attempt to sell DVDs did not last much more than a year if that.

@Thomas - I do recall it being a "GameStop and Movies" location, but I don't remember it being branded anything differently than a GameStop.
They would get trades from customers, and more often - the DVD/BluRays that were stolen from Wal-Mart and fenced for cash there.

So this location was established before the Electronics Boutique/GameStop merger. It competed briefly with the EB Games mall location. Then - in GameStop’s infinite wisdom, they established the location further down Bush River at the Walmart location.
Prior to this - it was a Payless.
