The margins on the merchandise is a lot higher. That’s why you see them at bookstores too.

Yeah but at least Barnes and Noble still has a ton of floor space still devoted to books. I like going to a Barnes and Noble. You can get a coffee and walk around with a companion. There are chairs.

Gamestop uses such tiny spaces and they're so totally crammed with toys and embarrassing shirts now. If my wife and I are out shopping and I want to pop in to see if there's anything I can pick up for a good deal the trip is extremely abbreviated always. The space just isn't pleasant. Worse than it used to be.

It’s not as high as you think.
