New Virgin Megastore Actually Opens!

OK, so it’s in the seemingly forever-expanding emirate of Dubai, but any port in a storm, right? And look: “Virgin Megastore today has six stores in the UAE and seven across the rest of the region including Kuwait, Jordan, Egypt, Qatar and Bahrain with further plans to open more stores in the UAE and Bahrain.” Yes, that’s right: Expansion plans from a music retailer. In 2009. Miracles can still happen! [AME Info]

    Anyone got any word on when the Times Square one is closing? That's gonna be a killer sale.
