HMV have been forced to abandon plans to re-open the former Fopp store in London’s Covent Garden.
As previously reported on Gigwise HMV bought up the Fopp brand and six stores last month after the company had gone into administration in July.
However, representatives for HMV have now revealed that the London store will not now reopen due to the fact that the landlord of the building will not let them take on the lease.
The Fopp stores in Edinburgh, Manchester, Nottingham, and Cambridge will open this Friday (August 24).
Around 700 jobs were lost when the Fopp doors were forced to close down.
