Let the Games Continue

GameStop Corp. (Grapevine, Texas) opened its 5000th worldwide location last week, in Jackson, Calif. The video game and accessories retailer said it’s on track to open 500 to 550 new stores in 2007.

“With more customers being attracted to the video game category, they will increasingly find a GameStop convenient to them,” said vice chairman and chief operating officer Dan DeMatteo. “This landmark store opening underscores the strength of our business model and represents a spectacular effort on behalf of our 44,000 employees worldwide.”

Stores are located in malls and strip centers across the U.S. and in 16 countries worldwide.
