Town’s Zavvi store closes
Thursday 5th February 2009, 2:55PM GMT.
Shrewsbury’s Zavvi music store has now closed, it was announced today.
The shop, on Pride Hill, was one of 17 immediate closures.
Zavvi got into trouble before Christmas when its main supplier, part of the Wooworths group, collapsed.
Staff at the Shrewsbury store said they were told not to open today, although they could not comment further.
Joint administrator Tom Jack said: “We will continue to trade the remaining stores and remain hopeful that a sale of some or all of these can be achieved. We are in detailed discussions with two interested parties and it is our intention to continue to trade all remaining UK stores with a view to their sale as a going concern.”
