GameStop, 327 Killian Road Suite 9: January 2026 1 comment
I don't have much to say about this other than this is another GameStop caught in the general downsizing. This one is on Killian Road in the newish strip-mall by the Walmart, just to the West of the I-77 interchange.

GameStop, 6080 Garners Ferry Road Suite B: January 2026 4 comments
This former Game Crazy switched over to Gamestop in 2010, and now with the latest wave of closings for that chain stands vacant.
WLTX reports that Gamestop plans to close more than 470 stores this year which honestly seems like that won't leave many, if any. I'm not a gamer, but I have to say that after spending hours trying to set up an Xbox for a gift Christmas a year ago, the idea of a store where you can go and just buy stuff rather than futzing around with downloading and accounts seems very appealing.

GameStop, 7546 Garners Ferry Road Suite 200B: January 2025 1 comment
We talked about the GameStop on Broad River Road last month. I suspect this one in Garners Ferry Crossing probably closed about the same time. You can see that it was still there when Great Clips posted their 31 December 2024 closing sign, but it is definitely gone (and all the signage stripped) now.
As far as I can tell, the one at Woodhill is still open though.

GameStop, 1725 Broad River Road: 14 January 2025 6 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.
Gamestop, Dutch Square: 27 June 2010 25 comments
Well, back to Dutch Square for another closing...
Gamestop was in Dutch Square on the south side of the main corridor just down the hill from customer service, and the Eckerd's/Piccadilly side corridor.
I don't know a lot about modern video gaming (give me Galaga, Gorf, Joust,Pengo any day..), but this is the third such store that I am aware of closing in the past year (after Game Crazy on Garners Ferry, and Play N Trade on Forest Drive). On the other hand, the Gamestop on Harbison is still going, so it's more likely an artifact of the continuing downward spiral of Dutch Square than anything else.
