OZARK, MO (10.14.26) – Creative Audio, an industry-leadi ng car, home, marine, and powersports custom audio retailer headquartered in Ozark, Missouri, announced today the acquisition of Good Vibrations, a premier audio and electronics destination located in Hutchinson, Kansas. The strategic addition unites two multi-decade Midwest audio powerhouses with shared roots in high-performance sound, custom craft, and customer-first service.
Crucial to this transaction is a full commitment to local continuity. Mitchell “Mitch” Meyer, son of retiring founder Bill Meyer, will continue at the helm as Store Manager. Having grown up in the shop and directed day-to-day retail, mobile installation, and home integration operations for years, Mitch will maintain the store’s legacy while steering its next growth phase. Furthermore, Creative Audio is retaining 100% of the Hutchinson personnel, ensuring that every famil iar face—with support from Director of Retail Sales Edmond Sherrod and Home Audio Director Corey Puett— can drive the business forward.
Turning Up the Volume in Kansas
Good Vibrations was founded in 1984 by Bill Meyer, growing over 42 years from a local car stereo and window tinting shop into a regional institution offering remote start, custom wraps, lift kits, and home audio automation. Creative Audio, founded in 1991 in Pittsburg, Kansas, before expanding across Missouri and Arkansas with massive showroom, marine, and
e-commerce operations, shares that exact same Midwestern DNA.
“Bill Meyer built something truly special in Hutchinson—a 42-year legacy grounded in family, passion, and incredible customer loyalty,” said Don Fleury, Owner of Creative Audio. “Main Street Hutchinson feels just like our roots in Pittsburg and Joplin. When you look at what Mitch Meyer and this entire team have built, keeping every single employee wasn’t just a decision—it was the whole point. We are thrilled to welcome Mitch and the full Hutchinson team to the Creative Audio family as we crank the volume up together.”
“Good Vibrations has always been about family, great music, and taking care of people,” said Bill Meyer, Founder of Good Vibrations. “Handing over the keys is easy when you know your crew is taken care of and your son is leading the charge with a group like Creative Audio that lives and breathes the exact same values.”
Seamless Transition & Community Commitment
Over the past 90 days, the location is undergoing a gradual branding transition from Good Vibrations to Creative Audio. Customers can expect zero disruption in service, full honoring of existing commitments, and immediate access to expanded inventory, advanced vehicle integration technology, and deeper technical support.
“Our customers are going to see the exact same technicians and advisors they’ve trusted for years,” added Mitch Meyer, Store Manager. “With Creative Audio’s support behind us, we ‘ll have even better gear, bolder display setups, and broader capabilities in mobile and home electronics than ever before.”
