Wonderful post Marty. Really great of you to take the time to talk to us.

That's Marty the Man telling it like it is. Thanks for taking the time to share with us. So in Tucson I keep seeing the same people working there. I hope my/our store is one of the top performers. I really think they are a great bunch of people. Kudos for them please. Best of luck to you in your new ventures.

THink about it.......
averaged 20 new stores a year..that is one every 18.25 days over ten years..I keep doing the math..did I screw up? THey grew from 140 million to 2 billion.......Thats 186 million per year...
Still managed to piss off the masses! Just kidding!
When you look at these accomplishments it is mind boggling. Keep in mind that the old school perspective is the weath and juice was held by the brand owners and the reality is that the most powerful entity is the retailer......

Fascinating thread. Well done, Marty, I know a number of other companies are taking the same path at the moment and I wish you well with your plans - and thanks for the open communication. I lived for 2 1/2 years in central New Jersey (until 2006) and spent many happy hours in the nearest GC. My eldest( 8 year old) son is keen on drums and the staff always encouraged him to have a play around, sometimes on posh kit that even I was nervous about, so no complaints from me about the store. Good luck!

How could you not like this guy!?!?!? Great read Marty and congrats!
"Not sure what a "dullard" is .......but yes we do have plans to expand in the EU...we think a lot of the UK and greater EU market and look forward to opening there in the not too distant future... "
Marty - thanks for the reply - its much appreciated that your are taking the time out of what must be an incredibly busy schedule at the moment to keep us in the loop.
Good luck with all that's going on at the moment - and can't wait to see some GCs heading over the Atlantic!
(But will it be Guitar Centre in the UK rather than Guitar Center !!)
