Pickin’ Palace Named June Business of the Month Following 30+ Years of Serving Rock Springs
Rock Springs Main Street/Urban Renewal Agency is proud to recognize Pickin’ Palace as the June 2026 Downtown Business of the Month.
A Downtown institution and beloved gathering place for musicians and music lovers alike, Pickin’ Palace has been serving the Rock Springs community for more than three decades. Since opening its doors in 1995, Pickin Palace has become much more than a music store. Through instrument sales, lessons, repairs, and countless conversations shared among customers and musicians, the business has helped foster a vibrant local music community that continues to thrive today.
"Thirty years in business is an incredible milestone," said Maria Mortensen, chairwoman of the Rock Springs Main Street/URA. "Pickin’ Palace has played an important role in our community's cultural life, helping generations of musicians get their start, develop their talents, and share their passion for music. Their commitment to Downtown Rock Springs and to the arts makes them a deserving recipient of this recognition."
The store's welcoming atmosphere and dedication to customer service have made it a destination for everyone from first-time musicians to seasoned performers. Their support of local artists, schools, community events, and music programs has left a lasting impact on Rock Springs and the surrounding region.
As Downtown Rock Springs continues to grow and evolve, long-standing businesses like the Pickin’ Palace serve as reminders of the importance of local entrepreneurship, community investment, and the relationships built over years of serving customers.
The Downtown Business of the Month program recognizes businesses that contribute to the vitality, appearance, and economic success of Downtown Rock Springs while providing exceptional service to residents and visitors alike.
Rock Springs Main Street/URA congratulates Pickin’ Palace on this well-deserved recognition and on reaching the remarkable milestone of 31 years in business!
