I found out recently that Guitar Center is coming to town. They're building a store on the south side. I really hate to see it. Over the years I have developed a close relationship with the music store owners, and their employess, families, and in some case I even know their pets names. I don't feel that closeness will be there with a big box guitar store. Sure they've got fantastic prices on equipment. I don't mind paying a couple of bucks more to support local business. But will everyone else have that loyalty. All of the owners that I have talked to say they are expecting a 25% drop in business when music center open up. What do you think?
