GameStop sold its Canadian stores to McFarlane Toys co-owner Stephan Tetrault. He plans to rename them EB Games Canada. GameStop CEO Ryan Cohen looked for buyers since February with a message that poked fun at Canadian politics. Tetrault promises to create something special based on nostalgia and community values. The company operates about 185 locations across Canada.
GameStop Canada president Jim Tyo wants these stores to become cultural centers for gaming fans. Store signs, websites, and social media will change in the coming months. Many Canadians might feel confused since GameStop recently changed all EB Games stores to GameStop. Customers have complained about GameStop focusing more on toys than video games lately. People wonder if Tetrault can bring shoppers back who stopped visiting these retail stores years ago.
