HMV set to return to Oxford Street after four years

After a four year absence, HMV are to return to Oxford Street which will open on 24 November creating 70 jobs.

After a rescue takeover by Canadian Doug Putman’s Sunrise Records the flagship Oxford Street store closed in 2019 after falling into administration.

The Canadian billionaire Doug Putman said, “Our new HMV shop concept and fan-focused offer is really working for us, with HMV once again becoming a mainstay on the UK high street.

“The return to Oxford Street and reopening of our flagship is a culmination of the team’s hard work over the past four years and, as a business, we see it as the launchpad for an exciting new era for HMV.

“We want our new Oxford Street shop to become a home for like-minded pop-culture fans and music lovers to come together under one roof, as it memorably has been in the past for so many people.

“We can’t wait to open our doors on the 24th, with a host of exciting entertainment planned for our customers.”
