We are card-carrying members of GameStop in my family. You can find collectible toys and action figures, not just video games. But when we stopped in the West Side location, we found nothing!
GameStop Closes Location on Evansville’s West Side
Recently, the Henderson, Kentucky GameStop location closed without warning. The same thing happened to the Evansville West Side location just last week. We had no idea that it was closing. I suppose they just move stock to the remaining stores.
Remaining GameStop Stores in Evansville and Newburgh
Even with the west side closure, GameStop customers still have options nearby. Evansville continues to have two active locations, and an additional store is open in Newburgh. These stores will continue to serve the gaming community, offering video games, consoles, collectibles, and accessories.
Why GameStop Stores Continue to Close Nationwide
GameStop has been closing select stores across the United States as part of its larger business adjustments.
