and the light section in BHS
I can’t for the life of me remember the name of the stores but they were sterile-looking record/CD/video game stores. I think they were around for a few short years sometime in the early, to late 2000s. They didn’t have a good reputation and I think they were one of the first stores to encourage buying stuff online. It was really expensive (£20 CDs) and I think it may have bought out another big music store (Virgin or HMV, or something like that). I think their stores decor and logo had a lot of green in it.
Can anyone reassure me that I’m not going crazy, and these stores actually did exist?

No way it looked like this? My childhood memory is of a giant Palace in black and yellow filled with many delights
Does it still have the stuffed bear?Have a walk around Dorman Museum. Free and well worth 60 minutes of your time. Sad to see places from my childhood now gone.
