The move caps years of retrenchment toward an online-led model within Frasers Group concessions.

Overview

  • The retailer has entered administration, confirming the wind-down of its remaining high-street footprint.
  • The final standalone stores will shut from April 2026 following the insolvency move.
  • The closing locations are Merry Hill in Dudley, Nicholas Arcade in Lancaster, and Times Square Shopping Centre in Sutton.
  • GAME will continue trading online with about 200 concessions operating inside Sports Direct and House of Fraser.
  • Managing director Nick Arran is departing after nearly nine years, and gift cards and eVouchers remain valid for UK online use for two years from purchase.
