Our Culture

You know us already. We are the stores you love to shop – F.Y.E (For Your Entertainment), fye.com, Coconuts Music & Movies, Wherehouse Music, Spec’s Music, F.Y.E. Games, and Saturday Matinee. That’s who we are – all these brands are Trans World Entertainment.

We have a history of excellence. Founded in 1973 as a small local record store in upstate New York, we have grown into a national presence. You can find us in the malls and freestanding centers across the United States while we continue to manage our business out of our original home base in Albany, NY.

We are entertainment retail. Our world moves to the rhythm of style and creativity, and our culture strives for the same. We applaud innovation and imagination.

Working for us is an experience in retail management that can't be matched anywhere, by anyone. We are unique. Our accomplishments resound across our industry. We are the star that others want to be on stage with.

Our business is challenging and fulfilling. Our lives play to movies, music and games. At all times of the year we move to a fast beat whether in our corporate offices in Albany, NY, in one of our distribution centers in Albany, NY, Canton, OH or Carson, CA, or in any one of our more than 800 stores in the almost 100 districts that we manage across the country. During the peak holiday season we crank up the volume.

Yet, we keep our values straight. We don't sacrifice our customers in the process of building our business. We know that our customers are the key to our success. We strive to offer our customers a valuable shopping experience and value in the products they buy from us. We know that satisfied customers return and shop our stores over and over. Repeat performances are as important to us as premieres.
