EB Games (formerly known as Electronics Boutique, EBX, 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.

In May 2025, GameStop's Canadian operations was purchased by Quebec entrepreneur Stephan Tétrault, with the stores to once again feature the EB Games moniker.[7]
