Sam Ash Music to Close All Stores
Sam Ash Music has announced it will close all of its remaining stores, according to posts made on its social media pages earlier today.
The news of it closing all stores comes after an announcement in March that would initially just close 18 of its locations. The 100-year-old company operates some 45 locations nationwide.
The statement on Sam Ash Music’s Facebook page earlier today read: “It is with a heavy heart that we announce that all Sam Ash Music store locations will begin store closing sales today. This unfortunate news also presents a fantastic opportunity for great deals across our premium selection of musical instruments and pro sound equipment. We will also be offering specials on samash.com during this time. Thank you for allowing us to serve musicians like you for 100 years.”
Sam Ash Music was founded in New York in 1924 by musician Sam Ash. As the business grew, all of Ash’s children — Jerry, Paul and Marcia — played an active role in the business, along with the third generation, Richie Ash, and Sammy Ash, who passed away last fall from cancer. Throughout its 100 years in business, Sam Ash Music became the largest family-owned music chain in the country.
