A new report is out citing GameStop is closing all of its stores in Puerto Rico. A number of growing business and government constraints have limited the company as of late making it hard for them to keep up with sales. The company has a total of 35 stores in Puerto Rico, so it’s no small loss of jobs for employees either. According to a statement issued by GameStop, they stated that:
“Given the ongoing business challenges and increased governmental restraints we have experienced in Puerto Rico, GameStop has made the business decision to close all of its video game stores and operations located on the island. As a result, GameStop will be exiting the Puerto Rican market by the end of March 2016. Until that time, we will continue to conduct normal business operations.”
We’ll update you should we hear anything more regarding this.
