After its bankruptcy, Game Mania will not reboot in the Netherlands. Just like in Belgium, there were no candidates to take over the game store chain, although there are some parties interested in the stock.

The chain was declared bankrupt in Belgium in September, and the Dutch branch is now following suit. As there was no party interested in restarting the chain, the receiver has started looking into the candidates to only take over the stock, RetailTrends reports. “We are now in the final phase, reaching the point where we can decide who the preferred bidder for the stock will be, receiver Marjolein Oonk-Pallandt added.
