Retail Apocalypse Continues As Gamestop Closes 200 Stores

Another major retail chain is closing stores. Video game seller GameStop says it will close between 180-200 "underperforming" stores by the end of the year.

GameStop has more than 5,700 stores worldwide but posted a net loss of $415 million in the second quarter of 2019.

While most retailers struggle to compete with online shopping, Gamestop has to deal with a market where most games these are just downloaded straight onto a computer or console and don't need physical discs or cartridges.

When's the last time you shopped at a GameStop? What can brick-and-mortar stores offer customers that online shopping can't?
