Pickers Alley New Owners

After 41 years, Mark Dixon is retiring and selling Picker’s Alley, Sarnia’s go-to music shop, to national chain Long & McQuade. At 65, Dixon says it’s time for a new chapter, and he’s glad the store will live on instead of shutting down. Long & McQuade takes over Monday, making it their 107th location. Dixon recalls Sarnia’s once-thriving music store scene. Longtime employee Tony Zangolli will stay on, and Dixon thanks the community for decades of support.
