Company Name
Lindner Music
Rod Lindner and his wife Sally truly own and operate a mom and pop music store. They have no employees, so when they are sick or out of town, the store is closed. Lindner Music is located in the small farming community of Watertown, South Dakota. They do little advertising because the people who make music already know about them and stop in like old friends to say hello and visit. Their son, Joe, is a musician who plays in and around town and teaches in the shop. One day he may take over the store, but in the meanwhile the store runs as it always has, by his mom and pop.
