GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) – After six decades in the business, a Wisconsin music store is closing all its locations.
This comes after the founder and owner of The Exclusive Company, James “Mr. G” Giombetti, passed away.
In a Thursday Facebook post, it read in part:
“With the passing of Mr. G, we have lost not only the “voice” of The Exclusive Company but its very soul. Mr. G was The Exclusive Company and The Exclusive Company was Mr. G. Sadly and simply, The Exclusive Company cannot, and should not, go on one without the other.”
The Exclusive Company says it will announce in the coming days a phased schedule of the closing of each store. All of the closing stores will go through a liquidation of their entire inventory.
The company says it will still host its Record Store Day on Saturday, April 23.
The Exclusive Company has stores in Green Bay, Appleton and Oshkosh, as well as Milwaukee, Janesville and Greenfield.
