New Sunrise Records in Saskatoon
A new source for vinyl, cds and merchandise will open in the western section of The Center at 10am on June 6th, 2023. And apparently they’ll have “several gift with purchase offers and other giveaways”.
The mall is located at 3310 8 St E, next to the 8th Street exit on the Yellowhead Highway/Circle Drive East. Enjoy.
Canadian Buys HMV
The Guardian reports that Doug Putman of Sunrise Records is the new owner of HMV and that 100 of the 127 stores will remain open in the United Kingdom, saving 1500 jobs.
Sunrise Records, a record store chain that was founded in Toronto in 1977, had taken over several HMV stores in Canada shortly after HMV Canada had closed their stores by April 30th, 2017.
Sunrise Records To Expand
Ontario music retailer Sunrise Records is planning on expanding into several former HMV locations through-out Canada this spring.
This chain’s nine stores are currently located in the province of Ontario and the company has been negotiating to take over 70 former HMV locations according to the Globe and Mail.
Unfortunately this will not include the flagship store at the corner of Yonge and Dundas in Toronto and several key street level locations in Canada. But the retailer is hoping to become profitable in 2018 regardless of their inability to secure these locations.
