HMV locations in Kildonan Place and Polo Park will soon be home to Sunrise Records.

On March 9, Sunrise announced that they would be take over “70 previously owned HMV brick and mortar locations in malls” from Burnaby, B.C.’s Metrotown Mall to Fredericton, N.B.’s Regent Mall. The Kildonan Place and Polo Park locations are the first two Manitoba locations to be announced.
Sunrise, a Toronto based record chain, first opened in 1978. Currently, they operate nine stores in Ontario.

The chain plans to expand the sale of CDs and vinyl records, while continuing to provide a space for the work local artists to be sold.

“We want to support independent Canadian artists more than ever,” Doug Putman, president of Sunrise Records, said in a statement. “We feel it’s an obligation, not to mention we love discovering talented new artists.”

Additionally, Sunrise has committed to hiring former HMV employees who have lost their jobs with the closure of HMV stores nationwide. Those interested in applying for a position, can email resumes to careers@sunriserecords.com
