Until the end of last year, I'd never heard of Fopp, but then they invaded my home town of Krapsville. As it had been many years since our one and only music store had close the thought of having a store selling nothing but CDs, DVDs and Books thrilled me as did many more of the locals. What's more Fopp offered much of their stock at cheap prices. Unfortunately, the novelty wore off.
This year has seen a price war between many DVD retailers, some going as low as £1 just to get the sale. Fopp however, held their ground meaning many of their customers went elsewhere. I myself have recently purchased DVDs from places like Woolworths and Tescos for over £5 less than what Fopp had them priced at.
Krapsville maybe about to lose it's one and only music store yet again but with the way their prices have been just lately, I can honestly say that I doubt they will be missed.
