As you may or may not know, HMV is coming back in Canada, co-branded within select Toys-R-Us stores in the GTA.
This is in response to the soaring sales of vinyl across the pond at the newly re-opened Oxford Street location of HMV in London, England, which opened in November 2023. And additional pop-up shops will be added if these record sales continue.
Some of the pop-up shelves have already been stocked at some of the five Toys-R-Us locations, these being located in Mississauga, Argentia, Brantford, Burlington and Pickering. Please consult the official Toys-R-Us Canada site for additional details.
I just hope they will consider allowing people to pick up online orders at all locations.
