The New Sunrise Records Will Be Even Bigger. 29 More HMV Stores Added to the Pile.
At a dinner with Sunrise Records CEO Doug Putnam–the guy who wants to fill the massive retail gap left by the demise of HMV–he told me that he wanted all 102 HMV locations but not all landlords were willing to discuss the situation. But with all the positive press since the announcement that Sunrise will move into 70 former HMV locations, another 29 locations have come on board. When up to full speed, the new Sunrise will operate out of 108 stores, making it bigger than what HMV is leaving behind. Sunrise will soon stretch from coast-to-coast. More store locations are set to be announced on March 20.
