The Early Growth of TOMS

TOMS, affectionately known as The Only Music Shop, was founded in 1978 on Bree Street, Johannesburg, by Benny Schleissner and Lionel Roth. Their vision of supplying musicians with the latest gear quickly turned TOMS into a hub for aspiring artists. With the surge of rock and roll in the ’60s and ’70s, TOMS expanded its inventory to meet the growing demand. Benny’s engineering background and reputation as a skilled repair agent solidified TOMS’ status, with his approach to stocking cutting-edge gear and ensuring staff product knowledge making it the go-to spot for musicians.
