Established in 1991.
Creative Audio's first store was opened in Pittsburg, KS in March of 1991. The company was started to thrive in the customization of car audio, from simple systems to full custom fabrications. With business booming, Creative opened the Joplin location in 1994. Our Sedalia location was originally purchased from Reference Audio in 1997 shortly after in 2003 a new store was built. Our store in Springfield was purchased from Auto Air and Audio in 2001 and went through a major renovation in 2004. Columbia, our newest store is a state of the art facility which was opened in September of 2012.
Creative Audio is an automotive lifestyle company that provides excellent product, innovation, and custom installations. We created an atmosphere that keeps customers coming back for more. We are home to very creative installers and innovators.
Events
Creative Audio has always been a part of the community we reside in. We hold several annual events such as Creative Nights which allows our customers and fanatics alike to show off their cars and installations. Our twice yearly Tent Sales provide our customers with the lowest prices we are able to sell our inventory at and are held at each location twice yearly. New for 2015 we have started to become involed with The Color Run, a fun 5k event which allows participants to have a great time while enjoying great music and getting dusted with bright colors!
