Virgin Megastore-Times Square closes its doors for good!
I found an interesting article today on billboard.com (our bible). It seems that Times Square Virgin Megastore is shutting down its doors! I think all those who have been to Times Square at Night will find that Virgin is by far one of the biggest and brightest stores making it an amazing sight. My first in-store in the music industry was 2 years ago at Virgin for ERASURE with Mute Records. It seems that as always in the end, it boils down to money. This case being no different.

Hopefully this record store catastrophe will slow with the increase in vinyl sales and as owners begin to understand the changing market place. However, with the economy how it is this seems to be ever so harder.

Another sad sign of our declining economy. It is hard to imagine what Times Square will look like without Virgin Megastore. Forever 21 will not give the area the same edgy feel to it.
