One Of America's Biggest Music Shops Is A Fort Wayne Landmark That Musicians And Tourists Flock To
Fort Wayne is an underrated yet dynamic city known for its low living costs, but for musicians it holds a different attraction. The northeastern Indiana town is home to one of America's largest music stores, Sweetwater, sitting at nearly 44,000 square feet. It has the world's largest pedal display as of 2021, and the room is so big, the company refers to it as a campus. It houses 1,000 brands, demo rooms, and hands-on displays, making it a wonderland for musicians and a treat for tourists.
