It’s the final nail in the coffin for us. We’re going to move out or close as we cannot compete with supermarkets. We’re desperately trying to hang on to coattails to match prices. With £32 trade prices, we’re doing the publishers’ job for nothing. Being a games retailer is not a hobbyist profession anymore – it’s multi-million
pound business and we just cannot survive.
What have you done to try and stay in business? We trialled selling pre- owned games only and it didn’t work. It cuts off the decent flow of trade-ins.
What are your hopes? To see someone come in and regenerate the store with the same enthusiasm I had when I opened.
