Founded in 1973 in the US, FYE (For Your Entertainment) operates more than 200 locations across 35+ states and back in December 2020 announced that it was coming to Canada.

The Canadian rights are held by Sunrise Records, which also operates T. Kettle. Sunrise Records has 83 locations across the country, in addition to 40 T. Kettle Canadian stores and 7 locations in the US.

We will follow up on this Bulletin with a future in-depth discussion, including expansion plans.
