I began my 11 year journey in 1979 with the opening of the East Brunswick location. All of my time was spent on the other side of the glass and pine paneled wall selling records and 8-track tapes.
I quickly becam a record store manager moving to Paramus, Union, Hartsdale, "The Bronx" and Manhattan locations.
After a few years of watching me, they made me a district manager with the honor of travelling to the far reaches of the Eddie Empire, Enfield CT.
My fondest memories were of my fellow co-workers in the music departments. Many are still in the business, some not, and some are dead.
I'll never forget the day when pulling the car into the Norwalk CT store to find it burned to the ground. The cause was ruled an over-load of an extention cord. There were many an hour getting deposed over that mess.
So we have an idea of the extents of the "empire" as well as more info on CT stores. I'd love to know how far the CE stores went west and south. 30 stores is a lot.
