HMV will close its shop inside a Lancaster shopping centre and hopes to relocate.
The music and home entertainment retailer has announced the closure of its store in St Nicholas Arcades on Sunday August 10.
But HMV said they were "actively looking for a new unit" in Lancaster.
A statement from HMV said: "It is with regret that following a decision by the landlord to not renew the shop’s lease, we are unfortunately having to close the HMV shop at St Nicholas Arcades, Lancaster.
"HMV first traded in Lancaster over 25 years ago, and whilst we hoped that the landlord’s redevelopment plans would have allowed us to keep trading, this was unfortunately not possible.
"As we have no intention to stop serving our loyal customers in Lancaster, we are actively looking for a new unit to restart trading as soon as possible and would encourage landlords and agents in Lancaster to get in touch with new potential sites.
"The current last day of trade will be Sunday August 10. Nearby HMV stores in Blackpool and Preston will remain open."
HMV was previously based on Market Street before moving to its current home in St Nic's.
