The music retailer, which was saved last year after it fell into administration, has stated that the stores are no longer viable due to “extortionate” business rates in specific locations.
However, some HMV stores have been rescued from closure after Sunrise Records, HMV’s owner, managed to renegotiate rent costs.
A HMV spokesperson said, “At this time, talks are ongoing with the landlords involved and are currently progressing in a positive direction.”
