Another local retailer is closing its doors in the coming months.

Sam Ash Music announced on its Facebook page that it will close all seven of its Southern California locations as part of a nationwide closure of all 42 stores.

“It is with a heavy heart that we announce that all Sam Ash Music store locations will begin store closing sales today,” the company said in a statement. “This unfortunate news also presents a fantastic opportunity for great deals across our premium selection of musical instruments & pro sound equipment.”

“We will also be offering specials on samash.com during this time. Thank you for allowing us to serve musicians like you for 100 years. With much love and deep gratitude, The Ash Family.”

Sam Ash did not provide a reason for the decision, but one employee told the Orange County Register that the stores in Los Angeles, Hollywood, Ontario, Westminster, Torrance, Puente Hills, and San Diego would be closed by August.

The company is offering discounts on merchandise and said all sales will be final.

The store was founded in 1924 by Sam Ash, an immigrant from Austria, and his wife, Rose Dinin, from Russia. The family-owned business has sold musical instruments and equipment for 100 years.

The company’s motto is “Come in and play,” which encourages musicians to perform inside the store.

Last month, 99 Cents Only announced it was closing all of its locations. Many brick-and-mortar retailers have struggled since the pandemic as internet-based businesses have continued to grow.
