On Mundy Street in Wilkes-Barre Township, Gallery of Sound anchors a retail corridor that has long served as a shopping hub for the Wyoming Valley, giving Luzerne County its own full service outlet for new and used vinyl, CDs, and music merchandise. This location shares its name and its stock philosophy with the chain’s sister store across the region in Dickson City, but the Mundy Street storefront serves a different customer base, drawing shoppers from Wilkes-Barre, Kingston, and the surrounding Wyoming Valley communities rather than the Scranton side of Northeastern Pennsylvania. The shop’s shelves rotate through new releases from touring and recording artists alongside deep used bins covering rock, country, hip hop, and reissue pressings, giving both casual buyers and dedicated collectors reason to stop in regularly rather than treat it as a one-time visit.
What has kept Gallery of Sound relevant in an era when most mall-adjacent record stores have closed is its willingness to function as a community music venue as much as a retail counter. The chain hosts in-store performances and album signing events tied to new releases, giving Wyoming Valley fans a chance to see and meet artists without traveling to a larger city, and that kind of programming has helped the Wilkes-Barre Township store build a loyal following that treats it as a local institution rather than just another place to buy a CD. The store’s continued presence on Mundy Street, in a region that has watched most comparable chains shrink or disappear, is itself part of what makes it notable among Northeastern Pennsylvania music retailers.
The Wilkes-Barre Township location can be reached at (570) 829-3603 for questions about current inventory, special orders, or upcoming events, and its Mundy Street address puts it within easy reach of the broader Wilkes-Barre Township shopping district, making it a convenient stop for anyone already running errands in the area. Shoppers browsing the store will find a mix of current chart releases, classic rock and country reissues, and secondhand vinyl that turns over frequently since much of the used stock arrives through local trade-ins rather than a fixed wholesale catalog, giving repeat visitors a real reason to keep checking back.
For music fans across Wilkes-Barre Township, Kingston, and the wider Wyoming Valley, Gallery of Sound offers a rare combination in this market: a genuine record store stocked deep enough to satisfy serious collectors, paired with the kind of in-store artist events that keep the shop feeling like a gathering place rather than a simple retail transaction. In short, the Mundy Street Gallery of Sound is a Wyoming Valley destination for new and used vinyl, CDs, and music merchandise, distinguished from its Dickson City sister store by the local artist events and regional following it has built on its own side of Northeastern Pennsylvania.
