Good Guys Inc., an operator of consumer electronics stores, said Tower Records plans to sell music and entertainment software at two Good Guys stores in Las Vegas on a test basis.

Tower, the world's largest independent music and entertainment retailer, will license about 3,000 square feet of space in each of two Good Guys stores.

They will test a strategy that could include the licensing of as much as 200,000 square feet of space within Good Guys stores in California, Nevada, Washington and Oregon by Tower or a combination of retailers.

The Tower 2 stores will occupy space previously devoted to personal electronics, computers and home office products -- businesses that Good Guys exited in September.

Good Guys said the Tower 2 stores will highlight digital formats like DVD-Video and DVD-Audio.
