PSA: GameStop Stores Closed On Thanksgiving
GameStop has announced that it will be closing all of its stores on Thanksgiving in the United States (Disclosure: GameStop is Game Informer’s parent company). This includes all of the company’s divisions, including GameStop, Spring Mobile, Simply Mac, Cricket Wireless, and Think Geek retail locations.
According to Mike Buskey, executive vice president and president of United States stores, the move is designed to give retail associates an opportunity to spend the holiday with family. “We know this is in stark contrast to what many other retailers are doing, but we are taking a stance to protect family time during this important holiday,” he says.
Stores will open again at 5 a.m. local time on Friday, November 27. Online stores for GameStop and ThinkGeek will be taking orders on Thursday without interruption.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
