Over 34 Years of Savings Selection & Service

Joe & Rachelle Friedman opened their first music store on Park Row in New York City in 1971, where they sold vinyl LPs of the current chart-toppers. Since that time, the business has expanded steadily. J&R now covers a massive city block across from City Hall Park in the heart of Downtown Manhattan. The stores are a "must-see" for many tourists and a "must-shop" for New Yorkers in the know. J&R's business, too, has expanded. J&R Music & Computer World not only sells an incredible array of CDs and a vast selection of top computer goods, but also digital cameras, cell phones, TVs, stereos, MP3 players, DVDs, kitchen appliances and much more. We have developed a loyal base of customers around the world through our catalogues and through (launched in 1998). In fact, J&R is the only company to receive two separate "Retailer-of-the-Year" awards.

We're an Authorized Dealer:

For virtually every product we sell, we're an authorized dealer. This means that each product you buy from us is backed by the full support of the manufacturer. With our own extensive customer service, you can rest assured that your satisfaction is of utmost importance.

Low, Low Prices:

Through our strategic relationships, authorized dealerships, the expertise of our buyers, and exceptional promotions, J&R can offer excellent prices and outstanding values. If you can find lower prices, from another authorized dealer, please let us know. 

Online Rebate Coupons and Offers:

Many manufacturers offer special promotions and rebate offers that require mail-in coupons. You can easily download these coupons from our website. 

Product Selection:

Each of our buyers has over 10 years of retail experience. They research the market to select the best available products covering all price ranges. Because J&R has strong associations with leading manufacturers, we usually get newly released products before our competitors. Just like your corner store, we offer personal service. If you don't see something you're looking for, just let us know and we'll do what we can to get it for you! We actually stock what we sell: Many online e-tailers act as fulfillment houses. This means they do not stock the merchandise that they sell. Because J&R also has stores and mail/phone order operations, we stock merchandise in our very own warehouses. This means better inventory control, faster processing, and quicker delivery time.
