- The remaining branches are in Dudley, Sutton and Lancaster, with exact closure dates not confirmed.
- The brand will keep trading online and through concessions inside other retailers such as Sports Direct.
- The chain has been shrinking for years by closing sites as leases ended and it shut its Basingstoke head office last year.
- In a 2023 interview, managing director Nick Arran backed physical games through collector editions and gifting, after a 2012 administration that PwC linked to high fixed costs and a rapid international rollout.
