History
GameStop has its roots from Babbage’s Tucson, Arizona based retailer of software which was founded in the Harvard Business School by the students Gary M. Kusin and James McCurry. The name of the company was inspired by Charles Babbage. The first store was opened in North Park Centre, Dallas. They were backed by an investor Ross Perot and selling video games primarily for Atari 2600 and Nintendo in 1987. In 1988 the company went public. Two-thirds of Babbage’s sales came from video games by 1991.
NeoStar Retail Group (1994-96)
Babbage merged with another retailer, based in Edina, Minnesota which was another computing software company known as Software Etc., and together they formed a newl company NeoStar. The companies also functioned independently as subsidiaries in their management teams.
