Sam Ash Music has announced that it will close all its remaining stores. The family-owned business has been a fixture for musicians for 100 years, but in the face of changing consumer habits and the rise of online retail, it has found it necessary to cease operations at its brick-and-mortar locations. The closure follows the earlier shutdown of 18 stores in March, including its flagship store in New York City.
The company shared the news via a statement on its social media platforms, saying: “It is with a heavy heart that we announce that all Sam Ash Music store locations will begin store closing sales today… Thank you for allowing us to serve musicians like you for 100 years.”
The company, known for its deep ties to musicians across the nation, leaves behind a legacy of commitment to the music community. While its physical stores are closing, Sam Ash Music aims to continue serving musicians through its online platform, where customers can expect to find discounted products as part of the closing sale.
