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, going from eight stores throughout Los Angeles to the two current locations in Pasadena. A true “mom-and-pop” operation, original owner Steve Bicksler is still heavily involved with the day-to-day operation, while his wife Bonnie handles most of the administrative duties (and still finds time to teach).

Current products include used iPods, new and used CDs, LPs, 45s, DVDs, DJ gear, books, posters, apparel, stickers, buttons, patches and other various lifestyle items. DVD rentals are offered in our video store.

Penny Lane’s two Pasadena stores divide their focus into music and video. We’ve always strived to make each location a reflection of the unique needs of the community, and offer customers a pleasant, personable, inexpensive and uniquely independent alternative to the “big box” shopping experience.
