So, good great news. Real Groovy Wellington and Christchurch branches are saved!!!

I went in there today to see how it was all going and get the Red Hot Chili Peppers Stadium Arcadium CD (which is so cool and only cost me $23 for 2 CD set! I’m listening to it as I write this) and I noticed someone using a voucher. I thought that was a bit odd considering they’re meant to be in receivership but I asked if I could use mine and the chick serving me said I could because they’d been bought. :D

Even better, the manager of the store bought it so nothings going to change. The Christchurch store has also been bought (by it’s current manager as well I believe).

With the news that Real Groovy has gone into receivership I’m welcoming the arrival of JB Hi-Fi with open arms. Real Groovy has been great for imports, second hand CDs, and vinyl; but pricing on the popular music they stock is expensive compared to places like The Warehouse, often costing an extra $10.

I’ve been waiting for JB Hi-Fi to come after I first visited one of their stores in Auckland last year and scored some imported CDs at a great price. The site is the recently closed LV Martin and Son in the BNZ Tower in Wellington. They are currently advertising for ALL staff, so if you’d like to work at JB Hi-Fi pop over to their website and fill out an application form.
