Millennium Music will close its store at King and Calhoun streets. The local firm will focus on its online music business.

No doubt in hopes of cashing in on the Spoleto Festival USA-goers who will begin flooding Charleston's streets later this month, Millennium Music has extended its closing date.

The music retailer on the corner of King and Calhoun streets initially was scheduled to sell its last CD today, but the independent store has announced that it will remain open until June 9.

Spoleto runs from May 23 to June 8.

Millennium will host a farewell party and moving sale on June 7. The day will feature several bands, including classical and jazz performers, for afternoon and evening concerts, as well as free food and beverages, discounted inventory, furniture, displays, computers and equipment from the store.

The push to a June closing also will give the store a bit more time to prepare its new space, a warehouse in Mount Pleasant that will house FeedYourPlayer.com.

FeedYourPlayer.com, an online music service store, launched in January 2006 as the global revitalization of Millennium Music.
