Fopp previously had 35 stores + 67 acquired Music Zone store locations = 102 stores

Fopp Shopshttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fopp_%28retailer%29
if Fopp can have shops in smaller towns such as Andover, Bedford, Horsham why not Maidenhead?
― DJ Martian (djmartian), Tuesday, 6 February 2007 18:24 (seventeen years ago) link
46 + 67 = 113 stores

If there isn't a Fopp Shop already there = likely to become a Fopp

I think Fopp have their admin offices above the Chiswick branch. Not sure if that makes it more or less likely that they will relocate.

There's a very shut MVC here.
Guess it's not going to be a Fopp in the next 3 days.

Maidenhead = small town, hip motherfucker population = 1 (me)
Hang on, I'm forgetting to factor in DVD sales.
Where's my board rubber?
Maidenhead = small town, DVD buying population = several million, including Rolf Harris and Tim Brooke-Taylor.
QED. I shall start camping out now.
They are going to get so sick of me.

The main reason I didn't think they would come is because there is already a Fopp in Reading, which is "just down the road".

That bird with the dyed red hair in the TCR shop is a bit arsey when you take stuff back under the popular "suck it and see" policy.

Gah, this thread always resurfaces when I have £0.00
― braveclub, Friday, 25 May 2007 13:02 (sixteen years ago) link
The Maidenhead Music Zone/Fopp hybrid has now closed completely.
I would like SHUT IT! for a pound.
― PJ Miller, Friday, 25 May 2007 13:52 (sixteen years ago) link
ah right, won't go to Maidenhead then.
I'll be visiting the Fopp in Charing cross on Friday. What's good in there at the mo?
― Mark G, Friday, 25 May 2007 14:15 (sixteen years ago) link
The Dictators Go Girl Crazy (£5).
I don't know if that's a good deal, but I might get it if it's still there next time I go in.
― PJ Miller, Friday, 25 May 2007 14:36 (sixteen years ago) link
Um, today is Friday...
― Marcello Carlin, Friday, 25 May 2007 14:45 (sixteen years ago) link
I meant friday next week.
― Mark G, Friday, 25 May 2007 14:59 (sixteen years ago) link
>> The Dictators Go Girl Crazy (£5).
It is. Get it. I know I will next week!
I wouldn't bother with their other albums though (Bloodbrothers isn't bad but not great either).
― Colonel Poo, Friday, 25 May 2007 15:15 (sixteen years ago) link
Exeter's Musiczone is definitely becoming a Fopp; all the POS stuff has changed, the price points, the silly genre sections, etcetera, just not the sign above the door yet.
― Scik Mouthy, Friday, 25 May 2007 15:16 (sixteen years ago) link
:'( Couldn't find Dictators CD in TCR Fopp...
― Colonel Poo, Friday, 1 June 2007 13:30 (sixteen years ago) link
I might have been hallucinating. I hallucinated it on their PUNK display rack though. Perhaps it was THE DEAD BOYS.
― PJ Miller, Friday, 1 June 2007 13:43 (sixteen years ago) link
I have checked though and you can get it for very cheap off the internet if you don't mind waiting for it to come from the colonies.

They do have Dead Boys - We Have Come For Your Children CD for a fiver.
Maybe it was on the New York/London wall by the vinyl - there was an empty shelf near Ramones/NY Dolls - could have been there.
― Colonel Poo, Friday, 1 June 2007 13:46 (sixteen years ago) link
Not remotely in the same league as "Go Girl Crazy" however (or even "Young, Loud and Snotty")
― Tom D., Friday, 1 June 2007 13:50 (sixteen years ago) link
Younger, Louder and Snottier is best.
