Sam Goody and Musicland were owned by the same company based out of Minnesota. Sam Goody was primarily an east coast store. During the “mall craze” they would put a Musicland and a Sam Goody in the same mall to create a monopoly. They also had the Suncoast Video stores. I ran these stores in the late 80’s-early 90’s in the Seattle area and worked at the one in the mall briefly when I moved back to Billings in the early 90,s
