Hi-Fi Do Online Newsletter November 12, 2005 Discussion is now under way on renovating Ohsu Main Store, because next Fevruary is 10th anniversary of the Ohsu Main Store. When will the "X-day" come for re-opening of the Main Store? They seem to be planning room layout and lighting, but without reaching final decisions... Are they really going to re-open after renovating the Main Store including the staff? There will be an organized sale for the inventories that precedes the renovation, I suppose. Though you cannot make sure of the sale on the website, you may come across something good on visiting the Main Store before renovation. We received 20th anniversary flyer from our customer who runs a bar that has a nice atmosphere with 60's Jazz from vintage speakers. We are happy our purchased goods is flourishing.
