HMV is to return to Croydon after the chain announced plans to open a shop in North End.
The entertainment chain will open the new store in September, 14 months after their last shop in the town closed.
The troubled chain was rescued by Hilco last year, but the Croydon store was not among the 141 saved at the time.
A HMV spokeswoman said: "We're delighted to announce that HMV Croydon will be opening on Thursday September 4 at 38 – 40 North End.
"Croydon is a very important area for us, so following a short break we're looking forward to welcoming customers to their new store.
"The store will have highly experienced and knowledgeable staff from day one, as the majority have been relocated from other stores."
