Richer Sounds is a British home entertainment retailer that operates online and through a chain of 53 stores distributed across the United Kingdom. The business is 100% owned by Julian Richer, the founder and managing director of the company. ==History of the business== Richer Sounds formally began trading in 1978, when, aged 19, Richer opened his first shop near London Bridge, with the help of Vic Odden, the photography retailer. For over 20 years this store is listed in the ''Guinness Book of Records'' for the highest sales per square foot of any retail outlet in the world. Richer Sounds was initially known for selling budget audio equipment in a ‘pile it high and sell it cheap’ fashion, but in recent years it has moved upmarket, and expanded its range from just audio products to encompass television and home cinema equipment. An installation service has also been developed. In 2007/8 the company launched ranges of audiophile hi-fi, multi-room and high-end home cinema separates, with some stores providing demonstration rooms for customers. The company also instituted a corporate rebrand, redesigning their logo and literature and instituting a programme of facelifts, expansions and relocations of their stores. In November 2013, Julian Richer announced to the press that, upon his death, his testament will bequeath 100% of the firm to a trust which will be owned equally by all employees of the company. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Richer Sounds」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
