The first Megastore opened near Marble Arch in London in 1979, before the chain reached customers across several continents. Its story spans destination shopping, changing international ownership and stores that took on new names or closed. For collectors, music fans and travelers, this piece recalls a recognizable retail era with roots in London and a far-reaching presence.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVirgin Megastores grew from a record-retail venture founded by Richard Branson in early 1976, following his and Nik Powell’s Notting Hill Gate shop, Virgin Records and Tapes. The first Megastore opened in London in 1979, at the end of Oxford Street near Marble Arch. Virgin Megastores and Virgin Records operated as separate businesses. Under Ian Duffell and, later, Simon Wright, the chain expanded through the 1980s and 1990s to more than 100 UK stores and locations across several continents. In 1992, the Virgin Group and Blockbuster formed a US joint venture; other markets also operated through local owners, licenses and partners. By 2001, worldwide stores were divided between the Virgin Group and Lagardère Group. In 2007, the UK and Irish business separated from Virgin and its stores were rebranded Zavvi; after Zavvi entered administration in 2008, its stores closed or were sold. The US chain announced closures in 2009, while Australian stores closed by 2010. Japan’s stores were acquired by Culture Convenience Club and rebranded Tsutaya by 2009. After extensive international exits, the business was operating only in the Middle East and North Africa by 2015.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"1\" style=\"padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"1\" style=\"padding: 10px; font-size: 15px; font-weight: 500;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e2.4'' × 4''\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"2\" style=\"word-break: break-word; border-top: 1px solid rgb(237, 237, 237); font-size: 15px; padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(82, 82, 82);\"\u003eWidth, in\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"2\" style=\"word-break: break-word; border-top: 1px solid rgb(237, 237, 237); font-size: 15px; padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(82, 82, 82);\"\u003e2.40\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"3\" style=\"word-break: break-word; border-top: 1px solid rgb(237, 237, 237); font-size: 15px; padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(82, 82, 82);\"\u003eHeight, in\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"3\" style=\"word-break: break-word; border-top: 1px solid rgb(237, 237, 237); font-size: 15px; padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(82, 82, 82);\"\u003e4.00\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"4\" style=\"word-break: break-word; border-top: 1px solid rgb(237, 237, 237); font-size: 15px; padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(82, 82, 82);\"\u003eDepth, in\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"4\" style=\"word-break: break-word; border-top: 1px solid rgb(237, 237, 237); font-size: 15px; padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(82, 82, 82);\"\u003e0.20\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eProduct features\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Durable 100% acrylic body with glossy printed front\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Adjustable black leather strap with buckle\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- One-side high-definition print in vibrant colors\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Rear opening pocket for business card or contact info\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Compact size 2.4” × 4” (6 × 10 cm)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCare instructions\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Wipe with a damp cloth, air dry or use a soft, non-abrasive cloth\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEU representative\u003c\/strong\u003e: HONSON VENTURES LIMITED, gpsr@honsonventures.com, 3, Gnaftis House flat 102, Limassol, Mesa Geitonia, 4003, CY\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct information\u003c\/strong\u003e: Generic brand, two year warranty in the EU and Northern Ireland\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare instructions\u003c\/strong\u003e: Wipe with a damp cloth, air dry or use a soft, non-abrasive cloth\t\t\t\t\t\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Printify","offers":[{"title":"2.4'' × 4''","offer_id":54774898819356,"sku":"31414235645247432140","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0955\/2517\/5580\/files\/4096845267695787137_2048.jpg?v=1793046109","url":"https:\/\/ghostcorpapparel.com\/products\/virgin-megastores-luggage-tag","provider":"Ghost Corp Apparel","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
