Dimple Records Celebrates 35 Years

We at Style have marked August 29 on our calendars for two reasons.
 
Not only is it the birthday of recently deceased Michael Jackson, Sacramento Dimple Records will also celebrate 35 years of business. 
 
But that’s not even the best part.
 
Dimple will have a 35% sale on all used games, game  systems, DVD’s and CD’s. It’s the perfect excuse to head on over and pick up  that one CD you’ve been meaning to add to your collection. 
 
While other chains like Tower Records have closed during tough economic times, Dimple continues to thrive. There are now six locations including Roseville, Folsom,Sacramento, Citrus Heights, Elk Grove and Davis. 
 
Dimple founder John Radakovitz got into the record business in 1966 and then opened the Roseville location in 1974. 
 
I’ve always thought Dimple was an interesting name for a record store. I just figured it was a family name. But when the first location opened, Radakovitz held a contest to name the  store. Records stores during that time had names like Eucalyptus, Peaches, and Licorice Pizza. 
 
Licorice Pizza? Well, hey, it makes sense when  you think about it.
 
But even if you have all the CDs your heart desires, it’s still a reason to celebrate. If you are a hard-core MJ fan, you should email nicklynch@localheroesproductions.com because rumor has it there might be a Michael Jackson karaoke contest…
