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.
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.
