 PROFILE
A sort of petting zoo for musical instruments, MARS Music operates one of the largest music equipment chains in the US, with more than 45 stores in 23 states. MARS stores carry some 200,000 instruments and sound products for musicians of all levels -- from first-time guitarists to professional sound engineers. Customers can test any instrument, whether it be blowing a horn or banging on drums. Stores also feature a performance stage, recording studio, and sound booths. Other services include music lessons and seminars. MARS also operates subsidiary marsmusic.com, which sells musical instruments and equipment online. CEO Mark Begelman, a former office products superstore executive, founded MARS in 1996.
