What SELECT-O-HITS does

Select-O-Hits, Inc. is a privately held, Memphis, Tennessee-based distributor and retailer of music and related media, operating since (per firmographic data) 1960 as a corporation under Tennessee jurisdiction. The company's short description frames it as a distributor of music and media that also provides manufacturing, merchandising, 3PL, and studio services for artists and labels, indicating a hybrid business spanning both direct-to-consumer retail and B2B services that the public storefront does not fully expose. The consumer-facing operation is an e-commerce storefront built on the Zen Cart open-source platform, selling physical and digital music media (CDs, vinyl records, cassettes, digital downloads), movies on DVD, Blu-ray, and VHS, books, branded merchandise, and gift certificates. The catalog spans more than 70 music genres and over 18,500 SKUs, with 461+ vinyl listings and 1,624+ Oldies genre items, positioning the company as a long-tail specialty retailer rather than a mainstream music outlet.

Customer acquisition is essentially direct-to-consumer via the selectohits.com storefront, with free shipping triggered at $50 to encourage larger basket sizes. Individual product prices range from approximately $5.99 for standard CDs to $40.98 for multi-disc special editions, with $24.99 limited edition vinyl and $34.98 standard vinyl releases in between. Go-to-market is low-cost: organic social presence on Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube, plus an email contact channel, with no evidence of paid advertising, content marketing programs, or formal partnership programs. The corporate headquarters and distribution center is located at 1981 Fletcher Creek Dr., Memphis, TN 38133.

Revenue is not publicly disclosed, no funding rounds have been recorded, no M&A activity is documented, and no management team or ownership structure is identified in the data. The company is privately held with no parent entity, no subsidiaries, and no disclosed investors, consistent with a founder/owner-operated specialty business. Operating geography is domestic North America, and the active product release pipeline for July and August 2026 indicates an ongoing operating posture focused on new releases, limited edition vinyl, and multi-disc collector sets rather than catalog expansion into new categories.
