PROFILE |
 |
It can name that tune in three letters, but it's still not the winner. MTS, the #2 US specialty retailer of music (after Musicland), owns and franchises more than 180 stores in 10 countries around the world. Its Tower stores offer a wide selection of music, books, and videos. MTS also runs WOW! stores (a joint venture with electronics retailer The Good Guys) and publishes several free music magazines. Facing stiff competition from discounters and online retailers, MTS is continuing overseas expansion (international operations -- including more than 40 stores in Japan -- account for about 40% of sales). Founder and chairman Russell Solomon, a high-school dropout, and his son and CEO Michael, own 99% of MTS.
