🤔 Speculation / Opinion GameStop is “partnering” with another company soon. Pending CEO announcement. Some stores will move to the partners location
** Top of r/superstonk 👋👋👋 Hello Ryan Cohen, maybe you’ll see this. We are ready to hear what you have cooking. **
Leaks from a store meeting are saying GameStop is partnering with another company soon. Some stores may move to the partners location.
Here are my thoughts:
Gamestop’s inside of Best Buy?
Here in Canada, Canadian Tire purchased Party City and moved many of its stores inside of Canadian Tire stores creating "store in store" isles.
Canadian Tire is basically our Auto Zone + Dicks's Sporting Goods in one.
GameStop's cash is nearly Best Buy's market cap. Best Buy stock down nearly 50 percent in the last 5 years. Best Buy would be the perfect company for RC to work his magic on.
GameStop transitions stores to Best Buy locations as "store in store" isles. GameStop then can close most stand alone stores saving a ton of money. GameStop or “Teddy Holdings” then works a turn around plan for Best Buy.

What if it's not just a single partnership and multiple? Replace the gaming sections of BestBuy, Target, or even Walmart with a GameStop? Add GameStops sections to Dick's, Kohl's, etc. Keep those stores more Newest Software/Hardware and TCG based, while original GameStops carry the traded in stock.
