After two successful stores in Belgium, British pop culture chain HMV is ready to open its first store in the Netherlands. It will be located in the indoor shopping center De Passage in The Hague.

Looking for additional locations

The British retailer has started recruiting staff for its first Dutch branch, according to the company’s LinkedIn page. Soon, customers in The Hague will not only find a unique selection of vinyl and CDs (with a focus on K-pop), but also pop culture in the broadest sense, from rock T-shirts to figurines, mugs, lamps, Pokémon cards, and other collectibles from Marvel, Funko, and Kenjiland.

    HMV closes London’s Oxford Street iconic flagship store (again)

    The British record store HMV is closing its iconic flagship store on Oxford Street in London, barely three years after it reopened. The main reason for the closure: the building’s owner wants to double the rent. There are also looming major renovation costs that would make the store commercially unsustainable.
