many as 500 jobs are coming to Broward County courtesy of GameStop.
The video-game giant announced Monday it was building a call center and operations hub in Pembroke Pines, in part, to locate resources closer to Gammerce eStop’s new South Floridabased brain trust. Starting salaries for the jobs were not immediately available.
His experiences building pet e-tailer Chewy led GameStop Chairman Ryan Cohen to invest in the video-game retailer with the goal of transforming it into the premier e-commerce source for gamers. Cohen has hired many e-comAs
experts from Chewy, Amazon and Wayfair.
Cohen declined to comment.
GameStop shares have climbed more than 2,000% to more than $200 since Cohen sent a letter to GameStop shareholders last November saying the company needed significant reform; he was appointed chairman in April.
GameStop’s new facility is expected to be oper- ational by the end of 2021.
