The full list of the 132 HMV stores that will be saved by Hilco’s £50million rescue package has been revealed today, following today’s news that the restructuring firm will save the doomed company - in a deal that could go ahead as soon as today.
HMV was once one of Britain’s biggest media retailers, but earlier this year, they announced that they’d gone into administration - putting thousands of people out of a job. But, after Hilco purchased HMV’s £176million debt for £40million, there were hopes that HMV may be resurrected - and today, it appears their prayers have been answered.
Among the 132 saved stores are branches in Cardiff, Canary Wharf, three in Glasgow, three in Edinburgh, and loads more. You can check out a full list below. It’s believed that 2,643 jobs have been saved by the deal.
Joint administrator Nick Edwards has commented: “We are delighted to have completed the sale of HMV’s UK retail business to Hilco UK. The sale of the restructured portfolio secures the employment of 2,643 staff, saves one of the world's most iconic retail brands and provides a solid financial footing on which the business can be taken forward.
“We wish the Hilco UK and HMV teams every success with the business. I would like to thank all those stakeholders that have worked with us during the administration, but in particular the staff, suppliers and landlords for their support in making this deal possible.”
