They say if you enjoy what you do for a living, you’ll never work a day in your life. Shelby’s John Reid knows the concept all too well.
“I loved going to work more than anybody in the world. I’ve never had a day of work,” said Reid of his time as owner of Shelby Music Center.
In what would have been its 50th year, Reid has made the difficult decision to close the business. Not because of coronavirus – though he admits the pandemic didn’t help the store much – but because of his health. Doctors have advised Reid to retire early in order to address a growing list of health issues.
