GameStop Corp. (GME) headquartered in Grapevine, Texas, is the world’s largest multichannel video game retailer. Founded in 1984 as Babbage’s, the company became a global household name through its unique buy-sell-trade model, which created a "circular economy" for physical gaming media.
The company is currently undergoing a transformation from a legacy brick-and-mortar retailer into a diversified technology and investment vehicle. With a streamlined footprint of approximately 2,200 stores worldwide, the company is aggressively expanding its high-margin collectibles segment and leveraging a multi-billion dollar "war chest" to ensure long-term solvency in an increasingly digital industry.
