I stopped by the more well stocked GC location yesterday. I purchased a new ADJ F4 Park Bag because one of Chauvet par bags, the zipper broke. Gave the bag to my son. He is using it for storing his RC parts in now.
Anyway, Here are some pics I took while I was there.
Notice that they only had TWO Controllers on display. One was a broken Numark Mixtrack Premium. Everything else was just a box on display
No controller cases were in stock.
Lots of Harbinger Speaker for sale on CLEARANCE. The Bluetooth VARI 2408 and 2410 are both on sale for $199 and $249. They are trying to clear them out since the new 3000 series is out. Numark has a presentation desk set up here, but no controller on it. Disappointing. Also, they did not have any of the lighting effects going. I am sure they are trying to conserve energy, and keep the energy bill as low as possible. They use to have the lights going all day long!
They just stocked all these speakers in the last month since I had been in there. They have geared up for the holidays. I also noticed in the Keyboards area that that have 4 different models of keyboards stacked about 5 to 6 feet high! That area to the right in this picture is their USED gear area. Not much was there. Only a sub and 5 different speakers, and the prices on all the used stuff was sky high.
I also noticed for speaker stands, they are only keeping their Pro Line house stands in stock. There was nothing else in stock from another brand. Most of the lights on display only had 1 or 2 in stock on the shelf. Some of the lights on their truss were not in stock for sale or at least not on the shelf with a price tag. Also, I noticed only 3 employees were in the store, BUT they had a line of 8 or 9 people at the register. I used to see 4 to 5 employees in the store, and the pro audio area had nobody at the counter the entire time I was there. There use to always be someone there. Could be someone called out, OR they are choosing to have bare bones staffing levels.
I hope they stick around though. There are no other DJ equipment stores in my metro area besides the 2 guitar center locations.
