"Salesperson David Matthews expressed that it hasn't quite sunk in yet that Sunday marks their last day of operations, stating, 'I've been mostly postponing me being sad until after I'm gone.'"
"Matthews mentioned, 'There are a few people that visit me back in acoustics every year that are going to show up and see an empty store,' reflecting on the emotional impact of the closure."
"Since opening its Toronto location in 1977, the store's bold yellow signage and vast assortment of instruments have drawn in visitors from across the city and beyond, including notable musicians."
"Steve's Music Store first opened in Montreal in 1965, founded by Steve Kirman, who was just 19 at the time, and became well known for its collection of instruments."
Steve's Music Store in Toronto's Queen Street W. neighborhood is closing after nearly five decades. Salesperson David Matthews expressed sadness over the closure, noting that regular customers will miss the store. The store, known for its bold yellow signage and extensive instrument selection, has attracted visitors from across the city since its opening in 1977. The chain announced downsizing plans in February, leading to liquidation sales. Founded in Montreal in 1965, the store was recognized for allowing customers to try instruments before purchasing.
