Then didn't people start going into it to take the money? People seem to conveniently forget.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly can't remember it, and I CAN remember the virgin megastore next door to it from 25 years ago! Huh, 14 years ago according to the date on that thread about it closing down. I have no recollection of it ever existing, weird. Clearly wasn't somewhere I ever took an interest in. Isn't memory a weird thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't very big inside if I recall correctly, not really much of a choice of goods. They decided to move to the top of the Moor so they could have a larger shop floor to display stuff. And even all these years later I still miss that Virgin Megastore. Must have spent a fortune in there on DVDs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must have spent a fortune in there on DVDs. It wasn't massive, but it was on 2 floors. I bought a portable minidisc player/recorder from there. A few kids in my year at school did their work experience there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
max Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 Laskys on Leopold Street closed in 1987 and were later bought by the Comet Group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
