Virgin Megastore to Close in April

The Virgin Megastoe at the corner of Stockton and Market will be closing its doors in late April, according to KCBS. This comes on the heels of Virgin announcing the closure of two new York stores, including their US flagship store in Times Square. The store is shuttering for obvious reasons: skyrocketing rent prices, iTunes, what's a CD?, the recession, the evil interwebs. While we can handle SF Chronicle stopping operations -- which even Chris Daly predicted back in 2007 -- we'll miss the Virgin Megastore. Pray to God another trite museum doesn't go in its place.
