Hey gang, I just learned a Guitar Center is opening on Naamans Road in Wilmington, Delaware. It's just a few miles off I-95, in the Target shopping center. As it happens, this is on my way to and from work. It opens this Thursday at 7:00 a.m.
The importance of this? No sales tax in Delaware. It's a beautiful thing.
I always assumed G.C. and Sam Ash stayed out of Delaware because they didn't want to cannibalize too many sales from their numerous Philly area stores. But Delaware is growing, and apparently the temptation was too great to resist. I expect musicians from Philly to Baltimore will take advantage, especially for large purchases.
I'll still take my major business to my trusted locally owned shops -- Bass Specialties, West Chester Music, 8th Street Music -- but, when in a pinch, it will be darned nice to be able to grab a cable, mic, pedal, picks, etc. on the way to or from work.
