According to this MCV story, GameStop’s sealed a deal to buy French retailer Micromania.
The move gives the US giant 332 stores in France, increasing GameStop’s European store count to 1,077.
“As we have accelerated our growth in Europe over the years, we have kept a close eye on the European retailers whose passion for the business is reflected in the quality of their stores and evident knowledge of their staff,” said GameStop boss R. Richard Fontaine.
“Micromania has been that type of retailer.”

They need to buy GAME, innit.

And they definitely missed a trick by letting GAME take GameStation.

A very good buy on their behalf, Micromania dominates the market in France.

More than likely the reason GAME picked up Gamestation in the first place. Stop someone getting a foothold in the UK market.

They should buy Greggs and sell videogames alongside pasties and sausage rolls, now there’s an idea!
