Would love to hear more stories. It’s a shame but I guess it’s sign of the changing times. As our journalists work to ask the hard questions about our recovery, we also look to you, our readers for support. I figured as much..the Zing store in Blacktown has a much bigger floor space compared to the EB spot.. that being said their giving up a real premium space there if their planning to merge the eb is right next to the front entrance and next to the food court.. its a prime space for activity. I said, no problem, willing to pay the normal fee for preowned game cause it was preowned. Most independent businesses have closed, and Gamestation are all but gone, some stores exist but not many and they are owned by Game anyway. Hopefully the staff at these stores can find a better company to work for, and maybe more stores will close down in future. I do not see GameStop going out of business in the near future, but further down the line maybe like within ten years then yeah that could be a big possibility. Then probably not. Retail is a $96.8 billion industry in New Zealand and we’re spending almost double what we did 20 years ago in actual dollars; 30 percent more adjusted for inflation. My local store is a pretty good place, good stock and the staff are pretty nice. The last time I was in one the clerk was complaining about customers to another customer. Hopefully it works out well for the sake of their employees. I’m really going to miss that place. Get it early by subscribing now or starting a 28-day free trial. I find it more interesting the deluge of comments above on such a simple, routine assessments results. True. What they rely on to fill their profit margins as a company is baffling. I wouldn’t be surprised if more stores are shut down over the year. At least 19 EB Games stores across Australia will shut down within weeks after an email confirming the closures was sent to members of the popular video game chain. Unless GameStop completely upends and alters their business model, I would bet that they almost certainly go out of business somewhere between 2020 and 2025. It’s fair to assume the company has similar popularity in New Zealand. We’ve got an EB and Zing within less than 30m of each other. I am suprised Capalaba still has two stores one is a big Zing combo store while the other is just an EB within around 500m of each other, it would be like putting one at either end of a large Westfield’s. © 2020 CBS Interactive Inc.

Yes, I wish to receive exclusive discounts, special offers and competitions from our partners. It’s not that we aren’t shopping - the exact opposite. ...No. Yeah, but doesn’t EB Games have something like almost 500 stores nationwide? Now that fashion icon store Bardot is closing down. I still don’t know if I am keeping my job, so a lot of people will be forced out. Kotaku Australia has reached out to EB Games for comment and clarification, and will update this story if they reply. Oddly enough the Zing stores arent being affected… maybe the company is trying to pivot to swag now instead of games? I used to work there, trust me- this place is a money fountain. EB Games employees at an Oakville location also confirmed that their store was closed on Friday, after employees rallied together on Thursday and decided not to go into work.
