West Chester, Penn. -- Video game retailer Electronics Boutique announced on Monday that it has acquired Spanish retailer Jump Ordenadores. Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed. Jump, which operates 141 stores in several Spanish provinces, currently sells PCs and related products, and will introduce video game hardware and software over the next several months. Electronics Boutique said the purchase will give it an established foothold in the fourth-largest video game market in Europe. Pennsylvania-based Electronics Boutique agreed in April to a $1.4 billion acquisition by rival GameStop, which will give the combined company a total of more than 4,000 stores worldwide.
