Fopp reopens – well, sort of…

 

Regular readers will recall that the Fopp chain, ground-breaking UK record retailers often praised on Music for Grown-Ups, got into financial difficulty a couple of months ago and closed down.

And that HMV, a bigger chain not often praised here, bought the Fopp name and announced plans to reopen a few of the stores.

Thanks to Rob Port for the latest news on the ground:

“You may well already know, but six FOPP stores have re-opened. Cambridge and Covent Garden being the two based in the South East. HMV has bought them.

“I went to Cambridge this weekend and was very surprised and excited to see the shop back open. It looks like it never closed and the prices and stock range is as good as ever!

“More gossip can be found on wikipedia here towards the bottom of the page:
