Share a little music retail history with a young fan in this Sam Goody kids tee. The brand grew from Sam “Goody” Gutowitz’s New York City record shop, opened after long-playing vinyl arrived in the late 1940s. His discount mail-order sales helped bring records to customers beyond the shop, and the Sam Goody chain followed in 1951. Later, its stores became part of the familiar mall music experience. It’s a fun way to introduce kids to the places and people that shaped how generations discovered music.
Sam Goody traces its origins to New York City, where Sam "Goody" Gutowitz opened a small record shop on 9th Avenue after long-playing vinyl records emerged in the late 1940s. He also sold records by mail at discount prices. The Sam Goody name became a chain in 1951. Creditors took control in 1959, and in 1976 the chain was purchased by Musicland. In 1978, American Can Company, later renamed Primerica, acquired the company; it also owned Minneapolis-based Musicland. The business expanded through store growth and acquisitions, including Musicland's 1986 purchase of the 34-store Licorice Pizza chain and 26 other record shops. Licorice Pizza locations were renamed Sam Goody stores in 1987. The chain operated in the United Kingdom from 1990 to 1999, when it sold its remaining stores to rival retailers. Best Buy acquired Musicland in 2001 and sold it two years later. In 2006, Trans World Entertainment purchased Sam Goody from Musicland's administration. It kept 345 of 400 Sam Goody and Suncoast stores open and began converting mall locations to its FYE brand. Most Sam Goody stores were converted to FYE by 2008. Trans World sold FYE's parent company to Sunrise Records in 2020.
