UK video game retailer GAME has announced plans to close 40 stores in the UK. Pokémon fans in the UK are most likely familiar with the retailer, which hosts Pokémon distribution events regularly.
“We are working closely with landlords throughout the UK to ensure that we do not have to vacate the 40 locations which could lead to a number of job losses,” reads a company statement. “However, we are facing a challenging retail market and GAME with its extensive retail footprint, needs to restructure and landlords need to work with us in setting realistic, fair rents.”
