| − | + | Tandy's was a franchise music store with a long history in Hamilton, owned by [[Neil Nooyen]]. In the 1970s the shop was in Victoria St. on the corner of Ward and Victoria Sts. Another shop was located in Hamilton East until the early 1990s, when it moved premises to inside the Centreplace mall. In the early 2000s it shifted to just outside the main entrance to the mall, where it remained until closing and being re-branded as a [[CD and DVD Store]] in 2005 and [[Marbecks]] in 2009. | |
This particular store was notable for resisting the generic imperative of mainstream music franchises by keeping less mainstream artists in stock and giving them good display space and promotion. | This particular store was notable for resisting the generic imperative of mainstream music franchises by keeping less mainstream artists in stock and giving them good display space and promotion. | ||
