Not entirely true. HMV bought a handful of premises (including the Glasgow store) off of Zavvi, but not the actual business. They only purchased the property, which I believe they then transformed into HMV stores. That is their only affiliation with Zavvi as far as I am aware

The Hut Group actually bought Zavvi (the brand and business). The Hut Group and HMV have no links as far as I know
