Sam the Record Man
 Sam the Record Man was a Canadian record store chain that at one time was Canada's largest music recording retailer. In 1982 its ads proclaimed that it had 140 locations coast to coast.The Internet age competition with the HMV chain and other factors forced Sam the Record Man into bankruptcy on October 30 2001 although its flagship location remained in business until June 30 2007. One independent franchise store in Belleville Ontario continues to bear the Sam the Record Man name.
