GAME has announced that it will close forty stores across the UK. The retailer reported that it has currently served notice on 27 sites, including outlets in; Bexleyheath, Canterbury, Derby, Glasgow Fort, Lakeside and Carmarthen, Leicester, Mansfield, Norwich Chapelfield, Watford.
A Game spokesperson said: ‘We are working closely with landlords throughout the UK to ensure that we do not have to vacate the 40 locations which could lead to a number of job losses. However, we are facing a challenging retail market and Game with its extensive retail footprint, needs to restructure and landlords need to work with us in setting, realistic, fair rents.’
