Well, I've made several purchases from them and have no complaints.
The store near BU is constantly packed, but it seems to have good,
helpful, knowledgeable salespeople working the floor. Merchandise mix
is good and the store always looks clean and well-stocked. Growing up
as the son of a retail manager whose speciality was turning around
failing locations, I've got a good eye for when a store or a chain is
on the skids, but that radar has never been pinged when I've been in a
Guitar Center.
On the other hand, I give Tweeter five years, max.
