The Virgin Megastore on Sunset Boulevard is in the final days of its closeout sale; according to its website and an email sent out to Virgin Megastore V.I.P. members, the location shuts down for good on Jan. 20.
My colleague Joe, who alerted me to the V.I.P. email, visited the store the other day and said he managed to score some bargains -- but said the store is already pretty much picked over.
Another sad day for music lovers, as we've seen record store after record store disappear in the last few years. Virgin may be a chain, but its import section was once worth the trip -- and that annoying 8000 Sunset parking garage. Virgin Megastore's Hollywood & Highland store remains, but its selection isn't nearly as diverse -- and the store is just a fraction of the size of the Sunset location.
Consider us lucky that Amoeba doesn't appear to be going anywhere. In the meantime, I better get over to Virgin Megastore this weekend. CD's and DVD's are currently discounted 40%, while fashion and books are discounted 50%. That VIP Club email offers members an extra 10% off as well.
