GAME cuts 43 stores, makes 247 staff redundant

GAME Group has announced plans to lay off 247 staff in 43 stores across the country.

In an official statement to Edge Online, GAME said:

“We regularly review our entire store portfolio, including our concessions, to maximise the opportunities to reach customers while also ensuring that the business is running as effectively as possible.

As a result of this review process, and the tougher market conditions that we face in 2010, we have announced our intention to close 12 Game stores, 6 Gamestation stores, and all 25 of our concessions in Debenhams stores.”
