HMV launch next gen store in Dudley
Business News HMV Timeline Retail
HMV will this week launch a ‘next generation store’ in Dudley. For those wondering what a ‘next generation store’ is, well, it means a store where “for the first time, physical will come together with digital to create a compelling multi-channel social shopping space and experience”.
