The Flatbush one also shows "permanently closed" and their website domain thebuzzelectronics.com is for sale.

Did they have any clearance sale? Or did they just suddenly close down?
Small people talk about other people.
Average people talk about things
BIG PEOPLE TALK ABOUT IDEAS.

I think the Flatbush has been closed for a while.

When the Buzz opened the Boro Park store, they put out a CD with a bunch of music tracks off popular albums at the time. The opening track was new content though - badchan Yoeli Lebowitz making jokes about the Buzz. It's a pretty funny track, and I was not able to find it anywhere online, so I'm sharing it here via Google Drive.

I thought I remembered something like this, but didn't want to say because I wasn't sure. Were they connected to Sterling?

Boro park had a sale on many items. I don't think it was advertised as clearance

Would think it would have happened sooner if it was associated.
According to multiple posters on that thread, it was.

According to AJ Weissman's linked in page,  GSN Holdings, currently owns and operates, The Buzz of Brooklyn and Boro Park. Sterling Electronics of Crown Heights, and is partnered with DB Electronics of Lakewood.

Will all these stores also go under soon?

Flatbush closed a while ago. I just bought a freezer from bp a week & a half ago. That’s a pretty abrupt closing…

Marginally related, Linick's Toys closed this week. Now that was a BP institution.

Does he own the property ? Could never figure out how he stayed open once toys4u came to 13th Ave.
