Fopp

Fopp is a high street chain that specialising in selling CD's, DVD's and books. They used to have a number of stores across the UK a few years ago but they went bust and closed all their chains. Thankfully HMV have come along and bought and resurrected a few stores including the London Cambridge Circus outlet. Where Fopp has an advantage over competitors is with it's consistently cheap pricing. You can always pick up a bargain with many brand new CD's, DVD's and books being sold for £3.00. With a stock rotation policy that shuffles things around regularly there is always something new on offer. The selection is big given the size of the stores. ...  Read the complete review

Fopp used to be an independent store which specialises in selling cd's, dvd's and books, within the past 1/2 years they have been bought out by HMV after all Fopp stores had to shut due to costs, only 8 now remain open around the UK, they all still run under the name of Fopp however. Fopp is well known for the price that it sells of it's dvd's, most for as little as £2 or £3 for very well known and respected films, it also sells books and cd's also for very cheap, the stores that I have visited are not very big, the one in Bristol is 2 stories but with little floor space, not like the curret Head/HMV's, however this doesn't usually take away from the ...  Read the complete review

My life including Fopp started in a small side street in Aberdeen, and my music-buying habits never looked back. Gone were the days of full priced CDs. I dipped into a world where the old classics such as Nirvana and Greenday were all a fiver, and chart CDs often just ten pounds. And they still are! In the past I always waited for CDs to come down in price before buying them. After all, why pay £15 for a CD when half of the songs are all over the TV and radio still? But then came Fopp. In my case,a small two-story shop just off Union Street. A trinket trove of books, CDs and films, both new and old. Although now quite a large chain, the staff are always friendly wherever ...  Read the complete review

Oh, what a terrible title! But my heart's in the right place because, like a lot of other reviewers on DooYoo, I think Fopp is fantastic! It's nice to know that, in spite of the popularity of Morpheus and Napster and MP3 file sharing, CDs are still being bought in their millions. And, despite the high prices of HMV, Virgin and other high street stores, it's nice to know that CDs can be bought for little more than a tenner these days. The best place to shop is on the Internet but if you're a high street junkie, try Fopp. My branch is in Bristol, on Park Street. This isn't the best location, as it's quite far from the hustle and ...  Read the complete review

I visited Fopp for the first time about 2 weeks ago when I stumbled across the Nottingham branch. Now as I have said I have never been in Fopp before or even heard of it for that matter, so this opinion is a first timers view and only represents one purchase from the store. The shop drew my attention firstly because of it’s strange unique name and the colourful signage outside, then once I realised it was a music shop I had to go in. I am a CD junkie buying at least 1 a week and giving me a collection of nearly 300 pretty good going considering I am only 21. Any way once inside I was suitably impressed with the store layout, the store seemed ...  Read the complete review
