Music and pop culture chain HMV will open a new shop in Amsterdam next year, following the launch of The Hague store in November.
The new 4,500 sq ft shop will be located on Kalverstraat and offers consumers a range of music, film, TV and literature products. It will also offer a more extensive collection of Vinyls and CDs than The Hague store, with a dedicated section for K-Pop.
The chain is a familiar sight on UK high streets and was bought in 2019 by Canadian firm Sunrise Records after it fell into administration. It was originally founded in the UK in 1921 as His Master’s Voice and opened its first dedicated store on London’s Oxford Street.
The firm currently has over 120 stores across the UK.

“We’re constantly striving to create new community hubs for fans to come together and share their love of music and pop culture,” said Phil Halliday, managing director at HMV and Fopp.
“The shop will cater to a range of interests, stocking all genres of music from K-Pop to Heavy Metal, the best film and TV shows around, as well as a great selection of fiction, non-fiction and graphic novels. We’re confident that we’ll bring something new to Kalverstraat and we can’t wait to open the doors next year.”
