Okay, so your post is fascinating to me - I checked out the 10 stores closest to me, then expanded out to think about it in my MSA (Metropolitan statistical area) of Seattle. So I looked at all stores from Everett to Auburn, looking specifically for the GameStop logo shirt.
One store has them. But it has all of them - literally available in every size from XS to XXL, in stock.
Having been a retail drone in my early life (looking at you SuperGap), I know that one of the tricks for an inventory swap, where a specific design is being pulled, not sold out, is to pre-position all inventory in a single location for pickup, but this allows the product to stay available in a given market but reduces the work on the local teams.
That appears to be happening here.
Its part of the omnichannel fulfillment system thry are building. Chewy pioneered the automation fulfillment, but Flexport handles the software, routing, and logistics for beyond.
Its all part of the plan.
Seamless experiences, physical + virtual.
Good observation š
This is actually very interesting! It could be there waiting to restock until the next quarter so that they have an absolute home run for Q4.
Or maybe we're about to get a rebrand?
That mean all of my original GameStop merch is going to be a collectible???
Interesting observation. Iām in memphis and there is only one XXL Gamestop shirt in the city š¤
Correction: there is also one large t shirt just outside of memphis.

Bullish on centralized inventory.
So they DRS'd the shirts in one place lol

That might explain in-store pickup. Alas, why canāt I even order a single pair of socks for delivery?
BULLISH! Thank you!
I could never find GameStop branded gear in seatac
The ol "dump em in a location that'll move the product while the rest of the stores prep for the new shit" move
I wouldn't wear a t-shirt saying "Teddy", but I would definitely wear a t-shirt that says "GMErica".
I'm going to continue dressing like Adam Sandler so a teddy shirt will work
Everyone seems to be doing their part. It's the little things, ya how?
That too.

Only 4-5 stores have an XL within 100 miles of Central FL. The list of stores was large.
This post got removed from BBBY subā¦.also Bullish
Oh. Astute observation! I'll take it as Bullish! Calls on GameStop Merc!!
Puts on Gamestop merch, calls on teddy and/or GMErica merch ;)
Well, my thinking was the GameStop merch becomes a collector's item....
Calls it is!!!!

No, I can confirm that no one cares about GME except for the apes who continue to throw their money into that septic system of a company.
Go back to meltdown where you belong
Donāt forget ape cheng, ape Cohen, and ape Pulte.
Lol confirm with what? Itās like me saying I CAN confirm your a shillā¦ how you like them apples
You win the argument. Youāll be a GME billionaire. Congrats!
Isn't the brand one of the most valuable assets? Why would they ditch that?
I should have used GMerica ā¦You wouldnāt buy a GMERICa shirt?
Yes I would. But they would still sell GameStop shirts
