We saw this empty(ish) Grainger Games shop at the Kirkgate Shopping Centre in Bradford at the weekend.

I wonder what the last Pre-Order games were?

Some nice, clear and bright signage

The shelves are bare - but still branded

Note the Covid-19 social distancing signs outside the shop

We've also seen former Grainger Games stores in StretfordSalfordHyde and Ashton-Under-Lyne. Interestingly some of them still had a few bits of stock inside!

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.
