As Rose Records transforms into an online channel, its physical stores have closed down one after another. Rose Records Taichung, the music chain’s last physical store, also announced on its Facebook page that it would cease business as from yesterday.
In June 2002, Taiwan’s two largest music chains — Rose Records and Tachung Records — were integrated to form a new company, G-Music, which has since become the country’s leading physical record sales channel.
In recent years, however, physical music stores’ business has shifted to online sellers, and Rose Records’ outlets in all other cities and counties have already closed down. As the last remaining outlet over the past year or two, the Taichung branch finally announced that it would cease business as well.
