Lethbridge, AB has 4 record stores on the map. That's 4 record shops mapped around Lethbridge. 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.

Record digging tips for Lethbridge

Digging in Lethbridge? A few habits pay off:

• Hit the new-arrivals bin first at Serious Music Centre. That's where fresh stock lands before anyone else sees it. The good stuff rarely survives the week.
• Sleeves matter for value at Blueprint. Original inner sleeves, inserts, posters — completeness counts. A bare record in a generic sleeve is worth less.
• Ask the staff what's new. Shop staff know what's just come in and what's about to. One question can save an hour of digging.
• Note the shop's specialties. Every shop leans somewhere — soul, punk, jazz, classical. Find the lean that matches yours, then dig the others anyway.

Good to know

We searched about 40 km around Lethbridge — 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 Lethbridge can take a while to appear. The 4 above are only as current as the community map. A record store that's shut, or a new one nobody's added yet, gets fixed with a single OpenStreetMap edit.

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.
