EIGHT full-time jobs at a Kendal music store have been saved after the shop got new owners this week.

The former Music Zone premises in the Elephant Yard Shopping Centre was due to re-open yesterday (Thursday) after it was bought by rival music chain Fopp Limited.

Music Zone went into administration on January 5, exactly one year after the same fate befell its predecessor MVC.

The Kendal store was closed on January 25 and the workers were told that they were to lose their jobs but their disappointment turned to joy when the branch was sold.
