An iconic family-run chain of music stores has been forced to shut down all of its shops after exactly 100 years.
Sam Ash, which opened its first store in Brooklyn in 1924, announced it would soon be closing all forty-two of its locations in a statement.
All of the chain’s stores, which span New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Florida, North Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, California, Pennsylvania, Nevada and Ohio, will close by the end of July.
Sam Ash has supplied guitars, pianos, keyboards, drums to countless amateur and professional musicans.
The remaining stock is being sold off cheaply to clear stock, bosses said.
“It is with a heavy heart that we announce that all Sam Ash Music store locations will begin store closing sales,” a statement from the Ash family read.
“Thank you for allowing us to serve musicians like you for 100 years. With much love and deep gratitude,” it added.
