History

Established in 1955.

It all started in 1950, when Vern was helping his uncle deliver pianos. Soon, Vern was buying old pianos and repairing them to sell to dealers.

Eventually, Vern opened his first store in a converted radiator shop in Colton, CA. As the business grew up, he recognized the need of a larger facility, so he purchased an old dance hall and a bowling alley to expand his operation. As his business continued to grow, this enterprising young man took over a Ford agency dealership site, and ultimatley bought the old city hall and jail in Colton. When the redevelopment started in the downtown area, Vern was forced to relocate his lucrative business. He seized the opportunity to invest in some land close to Interstate 10. At this location, close to the San Bernardino Freeway, Vern built the first piano supermart, a building that once covered more than 31,000 square feet. The paino supermart concept was so succesful in Colton that, with Vern’s business talents, over 20 more stores were opene
