Greensburg, IN — A local music store is closing after more than 50 years of selling instruments and other related items.
Melody Mart has been a mainstay on the south side of the Greensburg Square since 1970.
Owner Brad Douglas started a second division in 1990 called Designed Sound and Video which he says has experienced tremendous growth.
Douglas says the inability to find qualified help and the public’s changing purchasing tastes are among the reasons he’s shuttering the music store.
As for the building, Douglas says he’ll use the music shop area to store sound and video equipment, among other things, and he’s not sure if or when it will go up for sale.
Melody Mart will be open the rest of February on Mondays and Fridays only from 11:30 am until 7 pm.
Douglas says he expects to close the store for good sometime next month.
