Sam Goody is referenced a number of times in the show, but this music retailer is, in fact, gone for good.
Founded in 1951 as a vinyl record store, Sam Goody went on to become a significant music retailer in the United States. Best Buy gobbled up Sam Goody's parent company, Musicland, in 2000, and it sold the company to private-equity firm Sun Capital Partners three years later.
Sam Goody faced the music in 2006, when Musicland filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. The brand hasn't quite sung its swan song though, as it still survives on Trans World Entertainment's website and in two remaining physical stores.
