Rumbelows
From Graces Guide
Sydney Charles Rumbelow set up a string of music and electrics shops in Hertfordshire and Essex bearing his name.
1971 These were purchased by Thorn, owner of D.E.R. and Radio Rentals. (1969 Fred Dawes sold to Thorn Electrical Industries with their rentals business transferring to Radio Rentals.)
All Fred Dawes stores were renamed Rumbelows.
Several other regional chains were bought around this time, including two chains that were already large and popular in North West England, NEMS and Strothers. As with Fred Dawes, these stores too were renamed Rumbelows.
