I wonder what the last Pre-Order games were? |

The shelves are bare - but still branded |

Note the Covid-19 social distancing signs outside the shop |
The company was founded in 1996 and ceased operations on the 28th March 2018.
As a brand with shops in the North of England and Scotland I only became a regular shopper at Grainger Games when I moved to Stockport in 2016. I picked up some nice old games for my SEGA Master System there.
