Though Q2 same-store sales of packaged music sales fell 12 percent at Trans World Entertainment, “we have seen encouraging results from the expansion of our vinyl product in many of our stores,” CEO Bob Higgins said Thursday on an earnings call. The chain is devoting six to eight feet of floor space to vinyl in its average store, “but in some stores we've got bigger departments and in those stores we are doing better with it, so we are going to watch it carefully,” Higgins said in Q&A. “We know the freestanding stores can do very well in the business and so we are watching those carefully also. So, we will expand it as appropriate and we think we have got significant expansion plans in that category."
