Sam Ash Music Store has announced the closure of all its locations, following reports of store closures earlier this year.
Music retailers, including Sam Ash, have been struggling due to the digital shift in retail and increasing competition from online retailers like Amazon.
Amazon has gained market share in music-related products, capturing 34% of total consumer spending in the category.
Traditional music stores find it challenging to compete with online retailers in terms of pricing, inventory selection, and operational costs.
