New Lenox GameStop To Shutter, With Two Other South Suburban Locations

NEW LENOX, IL — GameStop in New Lenox will soon shutter, staff confirmed, the location among the latest in another batch of closings for the video game and electronics retailer.

The New Lenox store's last day open will be Wednesday, Jan. 14.

The last day for the Tinley Park location, 16205 S Harlem Ave., Suite D, will be Wednesday, Jan. 7.

The Orland Park location, 15864 LaGrange Rd., Ste D1E, will have its final day on Wednesday, Jan. 14.

Customers have been met with signage on the businesses' doors announcing the closures, in addition to emails sent to subscribers.

"Thanks for all the awesome memories!" reads an email sent to an Orland Park location customer. "Swing by for one last hurrah or ask about the status of your in-store pre-orders and PSA submissions."

Customers and staff only recently learned of the stores' fate. In Tinley Park, an employee said they were given just five days' notice, with "nothing as of real context" to the store being among those in this round of closings.

The global retailer—known for sales of new & used video games, plus consoles, controllers & related gear—also was an authorized PSA dealer. Professional Sports Authenticator is a leading third-party service that grades trading cards and video games for authenticity and condition, encapsulating them in protective cases.

After closing 1,000 stores across the world in 2024, GameStop in March 2025 said it wasn't done. The company last spring said it still expected to close a significant number of additional stores and looked to invest cash in cryptocurrencies, according to Business Insider. A majority of its worldwide closures were announced in the U.S., with 590 locations shutting down in 2025.

"It is a shame to lose them," said longtime Orland Park GameStop customer David Scholl. "There has been a GameStop in Orland for as long as I can remember, the people who work there and have worked there over the last couple of years were a big part of the store's appeal and a huge reason why I chose to continue to shop there!"

The early-2026 closings also include locations in Orland Park, Tinley Park, Schaumburg, and Munster, Indiana, among those disclosed to store staff.

In New Lenox, pre-orders and PSA submissions will go to the Olympia Fields store, 2520 Lincoln Hwy STE D.

In Orland Park, any pre-orders or PSA submissions will be transferred to the Chicago Ridge store, Chicago Ridge Mall Ste. F11.

Employees at the Tinley Park store were not certain of that information, but they can be reached at (708) 342-0481 for more information.
