Speaker 1: GameStop stores in Brookline, Lunenburg, Stoton, and East Longmeadow are

2
00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:06,360
Speaker 1: among those shutting down as part of the chain's latest

3
00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:08,600
Speaker 1: wave of closures. Jeff just tried to get into the

4
00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:09,879
Speaker 1: location in Coolidch Corner.

5
00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:12,560
Speaker 2: It's kind of a surprise to me that it's closing.

6
00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:14,440
Speaker 3: Only to find out the door had been locked for good.

7
00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:16,520
Speaker 1: And employees at some locations tell me it was a

8
00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:18,720
Speaker 1: surprise to them too, because they got just a few

9
00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:20,840
Speaker 1: days notice before their stores closed down.

10
00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:23,360
Speaker 3: For fans of good old brick and mortar, it's disappointing.

11
00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:26,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, it doesn't feel good. Economy is already bad. People

12
00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:30,080
Speaker 4: losing jobs, you know. I'll just AI stuff and online

13
00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:31,680
Speaker 4: stuff is taking people's jobs, you know.

14
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:34,240
Speaker 5: So yeah, it sucks. It's just the way the world works,

15
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:34,800
Speaker 5: I guess, you know.
