EB Games (formerly known as Electronics Boutique and EB World) was an American computer and video games retailer. First established as an American company in 1977 by James Kim[1] with a single electronics-focused location in the King of Prussia mall near Philadelphia, the company later grew into an international corporation. EB Games's parent company, GameStop, has its headquarters in Grapevine, Texas, a suburb of Dallas.[2] When Electronics Boutique was an independent company, its headquarters was in West Goshen Township, Pennsylvania,[3][4] near West Chester.[5][6]
The EB Games brand is defunct in the United States but still operates in Australia and New Zealand. GameStop also operates certain stores under the "EBX" brand.
