In 1974, after furiously peddling 8-track tapes out of a 1962 green Chevy van (160,000 miles plus), Jan Fichman & his father Jack had an idea: open a retail store that sells music and other cool stuff.

This store allowed Jan to return to college and pursue a degree in medicine. (Okay, Jan really wanted to go to frat parties every weekend & pursue good-looking women. Still…)

And so, 7th Heaven was born: a unique, alternative life style store that has always catered to those people looking for something….different

Since 1974, trends have changed, and 7th Heaven changes with them. Out goes hair-metal, in comes gangsta-rap; out goes turquoise rings, in comes body jewelry.

All the while, 7th Heaven has stayed committed to providing the fun & necessary tools for those leading an alternative lifestyle.
