Joe Nardone’s Gallery of Sound in the Gateway Shopping Center in Edwardsville has closed, effective Sunday, Jan. 8; the family had a location on the West Side for nearly 40 years.
“The record industry is shrinking. We’re at a point now where people are going to have to drive a little farther to go to a record store,” Joe Nardone Jr. told The Times Leader earlier this week.
In the early 2000s, there were 11 Gallery of Sounds throughout NEPA; today, the Wilkes-Barre, Wilkes-Barre Twp., Clarks Summit and Hazleton locations remain.
“The market can’t support multiple locations any longer,” Nardone told the Weekender Thursday. “Hopefully the change will make us stronger.”
