Popped up there today. Still closed. Happeed to talk to the asst. manager and he says they are hoping to be open by the weekend.

He didn't happen to say why they shut the shop down hours after it had opened? They had customers in the shop and they were all told to leave.

No.Just spouted about the whole "unforseen circumstances" bit. When did that happen? I never heard about that.

they closed the store on monday because who ever the fire safety officer was inspecting the store said that the fire escapes did not comply with normal regulations because of this the store has to undergo its first renovation after just 1 day and according to the stores manager don't expect it to be open for at least another 2-3 weeks

Thanks Figart. I never heard about that. That blunder is going to bite them hard since from that estimation they will miss the Christmas shopping season.

It will hit them hard, but surely, when plans were made for that building,
fire safety would have been the first thing they should have taking into account?

I thought Fire Safety would have to give approval before they could open?

Would be nice but I'm in the "I'll believe it when I see it" phase now.

Well it finally opened today. Was ok but not as big as I expected it to be.

Megastore is a bit of a misnomer I think. I'm happy though - I can blow my money on lots of DVD box sets now

i think the store is great compared to heartbeat city!!

I was impressed with the range in there. The prices are great compared to the others in town, but I'll stick to online shopping. I did pick up a cd there, that I never imagined I could get in KK, which was pretty good for an impulse buy.

What happened to Virgin? Barely open a month and now the store is called Zavvi.
