Hi-Fi Fo-Fum is an American audio equipment store that began at the dawn of the Hi-Fi era in the mid 20th century. The flagship store was located in Richmond Heights, an inner suburb of St. Louis, Missouri, and was in operation from about 1955 until 2011; another store was opened in Milwaukee, Wisconsin in late 1960, closing in the mid 1970's. The Milwaukee store was located at 26th and Wisconsin; advertisements made word play on the stores' name with the phrase "Hi-fi-fo-fum, twenty-sixth and Wisconsinum."[6] The name is a variation on fee-fi-fo-fum, with the phrase "hi-fi" interpolated. The store was founded by Ron Bliffert and the Big Bend store closed shortly after his death. It is noted for carrying a wide variety of high-end audio and video equipment, for installing many custom sound systems in cars, for home installations of home theaters, and for its long-running iconic radio advertisements, known to generations of St. Louisians.[4] At one time, there were five locations, in St. Louis, Milwaukee,[5] and Kansas City.[6] Hi-fi Fo-Fum was given the award for Best Electronics (retailer) in 2010 by the St. Louis Riverfront Times.[4] Attempts by former manager Tony Dollar to keep the Big Bend store intact after Bliffert's death were unsuccessful, and the enterprise was liquidated by Bliffert's daughter.
