Hide AdShopper Tim Reynolds, of Mount Pleasant Road, Hastings, said: “It would be a great shame if HMV were to close, There would be nowhere to pick up new CD’s and DVD’s in Hastings town centre if this happened. I know people shop online but I like to spend time browsing here. It’s a really good shop. Supermarkets sell CD’s and DVDs but they don’t have the same range of stock.
It was revealed last week that Sports Direct owner Mike Ashley was in talks with HMV’s suppliers to possibly acquire the collapsed music and entertainment chain.
Mr Ashley is reportedly asking HMV landlords to grant him a “six-month rent holiday” if he were to buy the entertainment retailer out of administration.
