Opening in 1985 and named “Independent Retailer of the Year” by the National Association of Recording Merchandisers (NARM) in 1996, Penny Lane has gone through some changes over the years but has endured to become the oldest independently-owned music and video store in the Los Angeles area.

Original owner Steve Bicksler opened Penny Lane because of his obsession with music, and still spends more time than he should with the day-to-day operation, while his wife Bonnie handles most of the administrative duties (and still finds time to teach).

Current products carried include used iPods, new and used CDs, LPs, 45s, DVDs, VHS movies, video games, DJ gear, books, posters, apparel, stickers, buttons, patches and many other various lifestyle items.
