	Virgin Megastore - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In 2001 the Virgin Megastores worldwide were split between the Virgin Group and the Lagardere group.The Virgin Group owns the UK, Ireland, USA and Japan stores while The Lagardere group owns the stores in France, United Arab Emirates, Greece, Egypt and Lebanon.
		Virgin Megastore withdrew from the German market in 1994, amid complaints that the country's shop-closing law was too restrictive.
		Virgin returned to Germany with a new store (not a "Megastore") that opened in the new central station in Berlin in May 2006.

	Virgin Megastore - Columbus, OH, 43219 - Citysearch
		Virgin Megastore cannot and should not be recognized as anything other than worthless.
		Virgin, on the other hand, explores the realms of independent music with bands like Interpol--bands who nobody truly enjoys but which tend to give a store good "indie-cred" because they were featured in 'Rolling Stone'.
		Virgin is also more expensive than the majority of other stores in the area and its patrons are subjected to the unpleasantries of Easton (insufficient parking, etc.) when visiting.

	Virgin Records - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The original Virgin logo (known to fans as the "Gemini" or "Twins" logo) was designed by British artist and illustrator Roger Dean: a young naked woman in mirror image with a large long-tailed serpent and the word "Virgin" in Dean's familiar script.
		Although Virgin was initially one of the key labels of British progressive rock, the 1977 signing of the Sex Pistols, who had already been asked to leave both EMI and AandM, reinvented the label as a new wave outpost.
		Virgin Records was sold by Branson to Thorn EMI in June 1992 for a reported US$1 billion (around £560 million) [1][2], with a special non-competition clause that would prevent Branson to found another recording company during the five years following to the agreement (see the final paragraph in E.U. Merger Decission IV/M202 of 27.04.1992).

	Virgin Megastore to leave Newbury Street - The Boston Globe
		Virgin Megastore is moving out of its Newbury Street digs to make room for a new high-end store at the landmark Frank Gehry building where luxury condominiums are opening this fall.
		Virgin opened the splashy store in 2002, its first in Boston, decked out with kiosks, listening posts, a dance room, disc jockey station, and an area for live music.
		The stretch of Newbury Street near Massachusetts Avenue where Virgin is located caters to teens and college aged with merchants like Urban Outfitters across the street.

	Multimedia Rocks Virgin Entertainment Group's WAN - Wireless - Network Computing
		If customers at the Virgin Megastore in Times Square are sampling music or video clips at the same time a store employee places a voice-over-IP call to Virgin Entertainment Group North America's corporate headquarters in Los Angeles, the voice on the other end of the line sometimes comes across choppy--or not at all.
		Virgin had previously given voice priority on the WAN pipe, to avoid latency and delay, but even with queuing and prioritization on the MPLS-based WAN, the VoIP call quality suffered when it competed with the Virgin Vaults.
		Virgin's network infrastructure is under more pressure than most retailers because it must support both its operational data as well as entertainment and sampling for its customers.

		Virgin's Punk rock buyer Bruce Halverson said when asked how the Misfits could draw such a large crowd without advertising or press, he replied, "Because the Misfits are just good sh%t.....and who doesn't like good sh%t!".
		Virgin East Coast marketing manager Andy Moreno stated "the event was magic, we'd be happy to have them back." The band may return for another Virgin Megastore appearance in October or April.

	Virgin launches online music service \| CNET News.com
		But the company says it can use the powerful Virgin Megastore brand--and the access to the millions of customers who shop at the stores every year--as a way to reach out to mainstream consumers more effectively than competitors can.
		Zalon said the Virgin service had been built in part after months of informal interviews with Virgin Megastore customers, aimed at discovering what mainstream music listeners liked and disliked about the existing online music products.
		The lesson Virgin drew was to create a new jukebox from the ground up without relying too heavily on Windows interface conventions or other services' practices, Zalon said.

	Finn Brothers, Virgin Megastore
		After the Virgin chap’s honest introduction, Tim and Neil came onto the teeny stage where there were two mikes in the centre and, to the right, an electronic piano that was beneath my field of vision.
		The staff were smiley and kind, worried about us fainting, shared our privileged feeling of having the Finns in their midst, and even gave out to the crowd afterwards the many posters lining the walls of the store that (falsely) advertised the Finns being there for a signing that night.
		I could be cynical and say that Virgin had a commercial interest in keeping us happy as they gained nothing from our presence unless we later purchased things from them, whereas the Open Air Theatre at Regent’s Park already had our money and had nothing to lose by making us live by their imposing rules.
