Record stores in Kelowna

Kelowna, BC has 4 record stores on the map. That's 4 record shops mapped around Kelowna. Every shop grades and prices differently, so the same record can be a bargain in one and a splurge in another — dig everywhere. Bring a want-list, but leave room for the find you didn't know you needed.

This guide covers every record store we could verify in and around Kelowna (within about 40 km), built from OpenStreetMap's community-maintained data. Names you'll run into include Bering Music Centre and Wentworth Music, plus Milkcrate Records. If a record shop's missing from Kelowna's list, it probably just hasn't been mapped yet.

Record digging tips for Kelowna

A few things worth knowing before you work through Kelowna's record stores:

• Inspect the seams at Bering Music Centre. Split seams and ring wear tell you how a record lived. Light wear is fine; trashed sleeves drag the value.
• Genre-hop at Wentworth Music. The best finds are in the sections you don't know. Jazz collectors find gold in the classical bins and vice versa.
• Learn the grading. Mint, near mint, very good — and check whether the grade is visual or play-graded. A visual VG+ can play like an EX.
• Sleeves matter for value. Original inner sleeves, inserts, posters — completeness counts. A bare record in a generic sleeve is worth less.

Good to know

We searched about 40 km around Kelowna — that covers the town itself plus the surrounding communities you'd reasonably drive to. Listings come from OpenStreetMap, mapped by local volunteers, so a brand-new record store in Kelowna can take a while to appear. Spotted a closure among the 4, or a record store we missed entirely? The map is the source of truth here — one OpenStreetMap edit corrects it for everyone.

We don't list prices or stock — both change by the day. What we list is the where: real shops, verified by real mappers.

If you run one of the 4 listed here and something's wrong — a closure, a move, new hours — the fix is the same: update the shop on OpenStreetMap and the correction flows through to this page on the next daily refresh.
