Ealing's HMV Gets a Replay

---

Record shop reopens in lead up to Christmas

Ealing shoppers who are more used to seeing stores closing down in the town centre have welcomed the return of HMV - albeit temporary.

The shop closed down last February but has reopened as a 'pop-up' to take advantage of seasonal trading.

It's one of 10 short-lease stores that the firm is opening to complement its 250 branches nationwide. .

Eight 'fixed-term' seasonal workers have been hired for the duration of the shop's opening.

Store manager Tom Harrison said:

'' It's great to see hmv back in Ealing, albeit for a limited period. We've had a great response from local customers, who I think have missed having a specialist entertainment offer on their doorstep, and we're delighted to be here for all their Christmas shopping needs for music, film and games - as well as personal technology products."

It's expected to remain trading until mid-January
