“GameStop CEO Ryan Cohen Surprises New Employee with Gift Inspired by Mother’s LinkedIn Post” 🚨🚨🚨

In the Ryan Cohen era, GameStop ($GME, $26.37, +3.31%) has transformed into a lean, cash-flow-positive retailer, achieving five straight quarters of positive operating cash flow for the first time ever. But beyond cost-cutting, Cohen’s leadership shines in moments of heartfelt generosity. When single mom Mara Nichols shared on LinkedIn that her teenage son James, a GameStop employee in Irving, Texas, walked two miles in the rain for a two-hour shift, Cohen took notice. Inspired by James’ work ethic, the CEO personally called to thank him and gifted him an e-bike to make his commute easier.

“I was shocked and thought it was a prank!” James told Sherwood News, adding that the gesture deepened his love for GameStop’s nostalgic vibe. A PS5 gamer who enjoys “Gears of War” and “Borderlands” with his brother, James learned dedication from his mom’s example. Cohen’s kindness didn’t stop there—earlier this year, GameStop raised $250,000 for Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals by auctioning unique items, including a damaged Nintendo Switch 2.
