George Whalin's experience in retail is extensive and first hand. He started his career on the sales floor and worked his way up. In the 1960s, he opened and managed the original Guitar Center on Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood, California. He sold instruments to the Beatles, Rolling Stones, Jackson Five, Grateful Dead, and many more well-known and not-so-well-known musicians. After leaving the musical instrument business he became the senior training manager for a 125-store consumer electronics chain.

In 1987, George founded Retail Management Consultants, which provides business-building services to retail companies and industry suppliers all across North America. He has worked with a wide range of companies in every area of retailing from single-store merchants to leading national chains. His clients also include retail trade associations; buying groups; franchise organizations; and some of the world's best-known consumer products manufacturers, distributors, and suppliers. More...
