Virgin opened a brand new store in Kuwait City mere days before the 2003 Iraq War.
Most stores include an in-store radio station. In the USA these are branded Virgin Radio, although are not related to Virgin Radio in London. In the UK, partly because of this branding issue, the in-store radio stations are branded Virgin Megastores Radio (VMR).
