Wrexham’s HMV Store To Close

Wrexham’s HMV store on Island Green is set to close. Administrators say there is no timeframe for closures, however it is locally rumoured it could be closed inside two months. The shop will continue to trade in the meantime.

We broke the news that HMV entered administraton on January 14th , with the store being under threat.

This follows the closure of Jessops, Staples and Comet recently – with the likes of Game also going earlier in 2012.

The following list was tweeted this morning by a HMV employee detailing all stores due to close:

Some reaction has been posted online to the proposed closure:

A real shame; literally the only music retailer in Wrexham now is Moonlight Records on Pen-Y-Bryn. Luckily, they’re excellent.

@wrexham @hmvwrexham Thats devastating. Always shop there and the staff are nice people. Buying DVDs from the supermarket just isnt the same
