UK specialist retail outlet Gamestation will open its landmark 250th store tomorrow.

The newest store is located in Sheffield’s Meadowhall Shopping Centre. Along with the announcement, Gamestation CEO Martyn Gibbs commented that the company is the fastest-growing games retailer in the UK.

Back in May last year, the company was bought by then-rival retail outlet GAME from Gamestation’s holding company Blockbuster for some £74 million. GAME itself has around 1,100 stores worldwide.

Edge readers who live close to Meadowhall should note that the first 50 customers who enter the store on Friday morning’s grand opening will receive a bag of freebies. The company is also holding a party tonight for industry members.

"Meadowhall is the perfect location for our 250th store due to its huge footfall and catchment area," added Gibbs.
