History
Established in the Hawthorne district of Portland, OR, Hawthorne Stereo has been, for over half a century, concerned with one thing: music. Under current ownership since the 1971s, Hawthorne has been located on Roosevelt way since 1988. While formats come and go and technology evolves in so many ways, our goal remains the same. We want to get you obsessed with listening to music by providing the best possible value and the best service we can.
