GameStop is trying something new this holiday season. The company announced today a new line of concept stores called GameStop Kids, the first of which will open today in Grapevine, Texas, the location of GameStop's worldwide headquarters.

In all, GameStop plans to open 80 GameStop Kids locations at malls across the country during the holiday season. A full list of stores is available at the GameStop Kids website.

GameStop Kids stores will feature a range of games and accessories from the Skylanders, Angry Birds, Lego, Star Wars, and Minecraft franchises. Offerings available include host of gaming and non-gaming items including licensed products, toys, and collectibles.

No mention was made regarding whether or not GameStop Kids retail outlets will appear outside of the United States.

I really see no point in having this, there's already "kids" games in regular Gamestops. Razz

I think Gamestop is just trying to copy Toys Are Us with this idea.

Yeah, I usually see a whole wall of kids' games on the shelves of Gamestops, so making a newer store for these is kind of ridiculous.

This is really stupid in my opinion, most kids I know don't even play Skylanders or Angry Birds they play games like Call of Duty and Grand Theft Auto.

^ Same here, and those games are already available in regular Gamestops anyway.

It's dumb because we all know that the only things most kids play are Call of Duty and Modern Warfare.
