This The Wiz kids tee shares a piece of big New York-area history in a fun, wearable way. Founded in New York City in 1977, The Wiz grew from an electronics retailer into the familiar Nobody Beats The Wiz name remembered for memorable advertising and local sports sponsorships. It is a great pick for kids whose families still talk about shopping the chain across the Northeast. Let a classic regional brand become part of new family memories and everyday adventures.
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.
