A green and white digital display in a store window reads "Hello! We're delighted to inform you that hmv is taking over this store. Excuse our new appearance while we work on a whole new look. It shouldn't take too long, so bear with us while we sort things out. Unfortunately during this time, we are only able to take cash for purchases and cannot accept any gift cards. We look forward to getting you closer to the music, film and games you love."
