The Moog Store in Asheville’s Moog Music factory has closed, marking the end of synthesizer sales at the factory location. The store provided a hands-on experience for customers to test and purchase synthesizers made by the Asheville-based company. This closure is a part of Moog Music’s transition towards research and development of new synthesizer technology. The Moog factory will continue operating with a focus on hand-crafting instruments by engineers. Those curious about the company’s legacy can explore the Moogseum in downtown Asheville.
