Tower Records Florin grand opening commercial from 1986

Found this on a recording from July 1986- this advertises the grand opening of Tower Records' Florin Road location, which ended up closing in 2003 right before the company's really big troubles started. The Florin Mall mentioned was just demolished a few months ago and an open-air center is being built in its place.

This commercial shows blank VHS, Beta and audio cassette tapes.

So sad, I remember going to that store when I lived in Sac. But the area started getting really bad around the mid-90's, so it was just a matter of time before it closed.
