Story summary

GameStop announced on social media it would begin reopening select closed stores starting September 11. The company did not initially disclose a complete list but confirmed at least one store in Brooklyn, Ohio was part of the initial rollout. This move follows extensive cost-cutting measures that have seen hundreds of GameStop locations close over recent years as the company attempts to reshape its retail operations.

On September 10, GameStop CEO Ryan Cohen purchased 1 million shares of Class A common stock for approximately $20.4 million at a weighted average price of about $20.38 per share, according to federal filings. Additionally, board member Alain Attal bought 5,000 shares that day for roughly $100,000.

The company’s sales mix has also shifted significantly, with collectibles now accounting for 45.1% of GameStop's net sales during the most recent quarter, up from around 29% in fiscal 2025. This shift highlights a strategic pivot towards trading cards and other collectible items as traditional video game software sales decline.
