Angry Young & Poor is a unique underground punk, rockabilly, pin-up, metal, goth, and horror shop that has been keeping Lancaster City, PA special for over 28 years. The store offers a wide range of small indie clothing brands, band tees, shoes, posters, stickers, home goods, patches, studs, spikes, new and used vinyl records, and more. Customers are advised to visit the store by 6:30 pm to ensure enough time to shop, as it closes promptly at 7 pm, or 6:45 pm if it's slow. Shoppers can find street parking on both West Orange and North Charlotte Streets, as well as a customer-friendly parking lot off Charlotte Street, across from the store's mural-covered loading dock. The store is highly regarded by its customers, who describe it as a great place to find a variety of music, clothing, and memorabilia related to metal, punk, and horror genres. The staff is known for being friendly and accommodating, even providing credit to a customer who couldn't return a vinyl record due to living in Canada. Overall, Angry Young & Poor is a beloved destination for those seeking a unique shopping experience and a connection to the local punk scene.
A wonderful selection of a variety of music, not just punk! Aside from being a great record store and place for music merchandise (I can't think of another shop in the Lancaster area selling Residents tees!), AY&P is consistently incredibly kind. Recommend a visit.
