History
Atkins Music Center opened as Atkins Piano Store in Connellsville, PA in 1949. Because of expansion, the store moved 3 times until settling at 166 W. Crawford Avenue in 1960. In 1969, Mr. Atkins hired me as a part-time counter person. At the time, I knew very little about music. But with Mr. Atkins' patience and guidance, I became very knowledgeable in all aspects of music and musical instruments. I am not a musician, but I play one at work. When Mr. Atkins died in 1993, I bought the store from his widow, and have been running the show ever since. Currently, we are one of the oldest business still operating in Connellsville.
