Two More Virgin Megastores To Close
Submitted by Collecting Vinyl Records Blog
A Call To Action- Support Your Record Stores!
The six-unit Virgin Megastore chain announced that it will close two more stores, the Union Square location in New York City (end of May) and the Market St. store in San Francisco (end of April). As previously reported, the company had announced that the Times Square store will close in April.
In August 2007, the Virgin Entertainment Group North America was acquired by two real estate companies - the Related Cos. and Vornado. Since then, the chain has been reduced from 11 units - with the industry awaiting word of the fate of the three remaining stores in Denver, Los Angeles, and Orlando, Florida.
