HMV buys seventh Fopp store
15.08.07 Graeme Neill
HMV has bought another store from the adminstrators of collapsed retail chain Fopp. The Byres Road, Glasgow branch is the seventh store that HMV has taken over since Fopp went into administration in June. The others, which HMV expects to begin trading by the end of August, are Cambridge, Edinburgh, Glasgow, London’s Covent Garden, Manchester and Nottingham.
A spokesman for HMV said that a final decision has not been made about who will head the Fopp book buying team and website, adding that one outcome could see HMV assuming responsibility itself.
