If FOPP survives then kids could still hang out but think they are more likely to want something different.
Take your point about Our Price. My opinion based on past purchasing and bad memory. Mate of mine worked for OP and remember a general vibe of educated music fans employed in the shop. He even had control one day of promoting the new Foetus album and playing it all day when the boss was absent! Guess those were the days of less aggressive retailers.
