Industry Vet Douglas Fenton Retires
Former Co-Owner and Sales Manager Douglas Fenton ended his five-decade tenure at Dietze Music in Lincoln NE, having retired on October 6. The retail veteran is the son of one of the original partners, Robert Fenton, who incorporated the company in the ’50s after the Founder, August Dietze, established the full-line music store in 1927 in the capital city. The company increased from a single storefront in the ’90s to four locations in eastern Nebraska. Fenton looks forward to spending more time with his grandchildren and improving his golf game. The store is currently owned by Tim Pratt (President), Keith Heckman and Ted Eschliman.
