Game adds on Addon

Acquires French retailer

Game is expanding its retailing empire in France with the acquisition of video game outfit Addon for €6.2m (£4.3m).

The deal adds an extra 20 outlets to Game's existing presence in France in areas where the computer entertainment retailier does not currently operate.

In the 12 months to the end of March Addon generated revenues of €18.5m (£12.6m) and adjusted EBITDA of €1m (£700,000).

Game now has over 650 stores in Europe including 400 in the UK and Ireland. ®
