Buyer found for UK Blockbuster stores March 23, 2013 RSS Feed Print
LONDON (AP) — The DVD and games rental store Blockbuster has been sold to restructuring specialists Gordon Brothers Europe after filing for a form of U.K. bankruptcy earlier this year.
The company had gone into administration — a form of bankruptcy in Britain — in January.
Blockbuster U.K. at the time had 528 stores. Hundreds of shops were shut in the weeks after its financial collapse.
Administrators for the company from accounting firm Deloitte said Saturday that Gordon Brothers Europe had purchased Blockbuster for an undisclosed sum, saving 2,000 jobs and 264 U.K. stores.
Blockbuster in Britain is a subsidiary of U.S.-based Blockbuster LLC, which itself was reorganized under American bankruptcy laws and then acquired in 2011 by Dish Network Corp. of Colorado.
大意:英国DVD和游戏租赁商Blockbuster在今年早些时候在英国提交破产申请之后,日前被重组专家Gordon Brothers Europe收购。该公司于今年一月份进入破产行政手续。Blockbuster在英国巅峰时期有528家店,数百家店在其陷入财务危机之后,在几周内被关闭。
PS:如果没有租赁或是二手交易的话,将是大陆***丝玩家的末日了,你我就要远离PS4和720了吗??悲怆不已啊..........
