In a move that marks both a return to roots and a bold shift in direction, the founder of Imports Dragon and co-owner of McFarlane Toys is set to acquire GameStop Canada, with plans to rebrand the retailer back to its original identity: EB Games.
The acquisition signals a renewed focus on the Canadian gaming and collector community, promising localized leadership, tailored in-store experiences, and potential collaborations with popular collectible and gaming brands. The return to the EB Games name is expected to resonate with longtime fans and gamers who remember the chain as a cornerstone of Canadian game retail. Further updates on the rebrand and transition timeline are expected in the coming weeks.
