We're the Alliance of Independent Media Stores (or AIMS for short) - a group made up of forward-thinking music stores across the country dedicated to bringing you the best music shopping experience possible. AIMS stores are all locally owned and are widely different in "look and feel," but are united in their dedication to putting artistic integrity ahead of mass-market commercial hype. In other words, it's about the MUSIC... AIMS stores are located coast to coast and our membership currently stands at 29 stores in 29 cities. We are not a chain, but rather an association of independent stores working together to benefit our customers and record label partners... If you're with a record label, AIMS is ready to work with you to help bring your artists to our customers. We offer a wide variety of programming and marketing Inclusion in programs is determined by a vote of all AIMS members, ensuring the integrity of our marketing efforts. All of our stores are Soundscan reporters, or not,..
