The Wiz 40oz Insulated Travel Mug Stainless Tumbler
The Wiz 40oz Insulated Travel Mug Stainless Tumbler turns an everyday carry into a tribute to a legendary New York electronics retailer. Founded in 1977, The Wiz became a regional powerhouse under the Nobody Beats The Wiz name, with memorable advertising and sponsorships spanning New York-area sports. Take that unmistakable Northeast retail nostalgia along for workdays, road trips, errands, and game days. It is a strong pick for collectors who remember the chain at its peak.
The Wiz was an electronics-store chain founded in New York City in 1977 by Stephen Jemal, who included brothers Lawrence, Marvin, and Douglas Jemal in the business. Operating primarily across New York, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey, the chain later adopted its familiar advertising slogan as its official name, Nobody Beats The Wiz. During the early and middle 1990s, it became a prominent sponsor of New York-area teams including the Yankees, Knicks, Mets, Nets, Rangers, Devils, and Islanders, while also sponsoring the Orioles, Flyers, Whalers, and Canadiens. Following a rapid expansion from about 20 locations to more than 80 in under a year, the company filed for bankruptcy in 1998 and Cablevision bought it for $80 million. At its peak, the retailer had 94 stores, 2,000 employees, and $1.4 billion in revenue across five states, plus music-only stores in Maryland and the Washington, D.C. area. Cablevision later dropped the slogan, and the chain closed permanently in 2003. Marvin Jemal subsequently opened The Zone in several former Wiz sites; P.C. Richard acquired Wiz assets, chiefly its name, in September 2003.
