By 1985, 34 locations had opened across Southern California. Featured prominently in Fast Times at Ridgemont High, Licorice Pizza was an integral part of the San Fernando Valley subculture. Local music fans flocked there in the 1970’s and 1980’s, including new owner Kerry Brown, who fell in love with vinyl and music production as a teenager. With regular in-store appearances by MTV’s biggest rockstars, the chain was the epicenter of cool, but with a more personal touch than mainstream outlets like Tower and Virgin. The new Studio City permanent store location is not a pop-up. The tastiest music in town is here to stay. Remember, you always get your music nicer at Licorice Pizza!
