26 HMV stores to open in Xtra-vision

Twenty-six new HMV stores are to open around the country as specialist ‘shop-in-shop’ projects within Xtra-vision outlets in the coming months.

British commercial restructuring firm Hilco, which bought both brands from receivership earlier this year, is to announce the locations for the new dual store designs next week.

At the same time, the company is planning to make announcements regarding its plans for the redemption of still-valid gift vouchers which controversially weren’t honoured during HMV’s receivership process, prior to the takeover.
