Add The New York Post on Google GameStop says it is reopening “select” stores across the country as company insiders make new investments in the video game retailer’s stock.
The company announced on social media that “select” closed stores would begin reopening Sept. 11.
GameStop did not initially disclose a complete list of returning locations. A company spokesperson told FOX Business that “at least one” store — located in Brooklyn, Ohio — was part of the initial rollout.
The move comes after an extended period of store closures and cost-cutting. GameStop has shuttered hundreds of locations in recent years as it has sought to reduce expenses and reshape its retail operations.
The reopenings also come as GameStop CEO Ryan Cohen purchased 1 million shares of Class A common stock on Sept. 10 at a weighted average price of about $20.38 per share, according to federal regulatory filings.
