HMV Closes 27 Stores

Oxford Street's iconic HMV (His Master's Voice) store is pictured as it is one of the 27 stores to close across the UK, London on February 6, 2019. HMV has been rescued from collapse by a Canadian music entrepreneur, but 27 stores in prime locations have closed, including the site of its first store on London’s Oxford Street. Doug Putman, who runs the Canadian retailer Sunrise Records, has bought the UK music and film chain after emerging as the leading contender over the weekend, heading off competition from Mike Ashley’s Sports Direct.
