THE MUSIC CENTER was founded by John Churman of Howland. John was a longtime musician in the Warren area playing in the JOHN CHURMAN COMBO, CUSTOM 3, and THE MINT, often being showcased at THE TIKI LOUNGE, THE PATIO, TOWN & COUNTRY, THE RANCHO VILLA, and private parties throughout NE Ohio.
In 2001, John decided to fulfill his lifelong dream ... THE MUSIC CENTER was born! In April 2001, The Music Center came to The Market Place in Howland. The goal was to treat customers how you want to be treated and give them a great deal! The goal worked and quickly The Music Center outgrew its Howland location.
Today, The Music Center is located at 5836 YOUNGSTOWN-WARREN RD in NILES(OHIO), near The Eastwood Mall. Only one thing is different about The Music Center today ... John passed away on January 2, 2008 after a courageous battle with cancer. He may not be a visual part of The Music Center, but his spirit is still strong!
Today, The Music Center is run by his daughters, Cindy and Kathy Churman. You can also catch longtime friend, Rick Hartley (local artist - check him out around town!) on the sales floor 24/7! Our goal here has never changed ... the customers are treated like family and the deals are unbeatable!
