The poster features the image of the original "Sam the Record Man" location at 347 Yonge Street has become a Toronto landmark. Sam the Record Man is a Canadian record store chain that, at one time, was Canada's largest music recording retailer, with 130 stores. The Internet age, and other factors, forced the chain into bankruptcy on October 30, 2001. It now exists as a two-store chain, with stores in the Ontario cities of Sarnia and Belleville.
On May 29, 2007, the Sniderman family announced that the iconic flagship store, closed its doors permanently on June 30, 2007. They stated that "their decision reflects the increasing impact of technology on the record industry." However, on June 22, 2007, the Toronto city council voted in favour of designating the entire property as a heritage site, protecting the entire building, including the landmark signs.
