The First Shop
Around this time, Jennings had started repairing accordions and trading in second hand musical instruments. In 1946, Jennings set up his first shop in Dartford Kent and began importing accordions. He also started inventing new products, the first being the Univox Electronic organ, which was a huge success, and became the springboard from which he would build his instrument-manufacturing empire.

Famous quotes containing the word shop:
“A generation which has passed through the shop has absorbed standards and ambitions which are not of those of spaciousness, and cannot get away from them. Everything with them is done as though for sale, and they naturally have in view the greatest possible benefit, profit and that end of the stuff that will make the best show.”
—Alexander Herzen (1812–1870)
