Joe & Rachelle Friedman opened their first music store on Park Row in New York City in 1971, where they sold vinyl LPs of the current chart-toppers.
Since that time, the business has expanded steadily.
J&R now covers a massive city block across from City Hall Park in the heart of Downtown Manhattan.
The stores are a "must-see" for many tourists and a "must-shop" for New Yorkers in the know.
J&R's business, too, has expanded.
J&R Music & Computer World not only sells an incredible array of CDs and a vast selection of top computer goods, but also digital cameras, cell phones, TVs, stereos, MP3 players, DVDs, kitchen appliances and much more.
They have developed a loyal base of customers around the world through our catalogues and through JR.com (launched in 1998).
In fact, J&R is the only company to receive two separate "Retailer-of-the-Year" awards.
