While under bankruptcy, Tower Records exited Argentina , Canada (where it had two Toronto stores), and the United Kingdom (including the famed 1 Piccadilly Circus store) markets. TOWER RECORDS IN THE UNITED KINGDOM Originally Tower Records was just a London based concern, with the store at 1 Piccadilly Circus being joined by a couple of smaller outlets (for example Kensington High Street). However by the start of the 1990s the chain had grew to encompass a number of other stores, with large entertainment stores also selling movies, books, magazines and games in Birmingham and Glasgow , as well as a number of smaller stores that had been purchased from rival American Retailer Sam Goody when it had left the UK marketplace (for example of this express format - Weston-Super-Mare ). However with tough trading conditions in the UK market, as well as the company's trouble in the States, the firm followed Sam Goody in retreating from the UK market. The London stores in Piccadilly and Kensington were sold to Virgin , who for a while traded under the Tower brand at the former site until the store could be fully refurbished, whilst the other stores were closed.
