HMV reopened its doors today in the Merry Hill Centre after closing earlier this month.

The store closed suddenly on February 5 when the struggling chain was acquired out of administration by Canadian company Sunrise Records.

The Merry Hill branch was one of 27 stores to close around the country, including HMV's flagship shop on Oxford Street.

The store is now open again for Merry Hill shoppers, as of this morning (February 23).

HMV Managing Director, Neil Taylor, said: "I am extremely proud of our staff who are the most knowledgeable and committed people you will meet, and so it is extremely gratifying to see this store open again, I greatly appreciate the support of all our customers and the landlord which made re-opening this store possible".
