UK games and electronics retailer CeX reportedly plans to open new brick-and-mortar stores focused on retro video games. One report says an insider expects the first location could launch this year as the company expands beyond its existing model.
Another outlet reports that CeX could open two dedicated retro stores, with the first potentially located in Birmingham city centre. The coverage frames the move as a response to a market where more retail activity is increasingly digital-only, though neither account provides official details on timing, store size, or full locations.
Taken together, the reports agree that CeX is considering a dedicated retro-gaming store format and that an early opening is possible this year, with Birmingham cited as a likely location for the first site. Neither source, however, attributes specific plans directly to CeX through an on-the-record statement, and details appear limited to reporting and insider information.
