After serving from the Rose Street store for 20 years, Fopp has announced a new exciting location.
The entertainment store has been the go-to place for fans of music, films and books and customers were left gutted when they heard that the unit on Rose Street is set to be turned into a cocktail bar.
But fear not, because Fopp will be relocating to a new huge two-storey, 4,200 sq. ft store on 42 Shandwick Place next month.

Visitors will be able to browse over 6,000 vinyl albums, 12,000 different CDs, 12,000 films and TV shows on 4K Ultra HD, Blu Ray and DVD. World cinema, specialist music and collector’s edition Blu Ray, CDs and vinyl will remain at the heart of Fopp’s offering.
Music fans visiting the new store will be able to purchase 7” singles from £1.50 and over 1,000 LPs from £5 each. There will also be an expanded range of turntables and headphones.
The store is also expected to draw further signings and performances from both British artists and grassroots local bands.
All team members from the current store on Rose Street, which closes this Saturday, will be moved to the new store.
Paul Maslin, Store Manager, said: “We’re excited to take Fopp Edinburgh to a new larger space, offering even more music, film, TV and books. We can’t wait to open our doors and welcome back our loyal customers with some fantastic offers.”
Phil Halliday, Managing Director of Fopp and HMV, said: “The Fopp store in Edinburgh has extremely loyal, knowledgeable customers, as well as staff who are deeply passionate about the worlds of music, film and TV. We’re delighted to be relocating to a new space where we can cater to an even wider range of eclectic and specialist tastes.”
Fopp will open on Shandwick Place on February 17 at 9.30am.
