Altones record shop

Does anyone have any information about Altones? It was a small record shop in a neighborhood strip mall just south of East Junior High/Patty Jewett Golf Course (can't remember the name of the mall, darn it). I remember it was crowded with albums and had slots behind the counter for multiple copies of the latest Top 40 hits on 45 rpm records. Customers would get a ticket or two for each record they'd buy and could redeem these, once they'd accumulated enough of them, for free records. I fondly recall getting many of the latest Beatles, Monkees, Jackson 5, etc., hits at Altones, but, after a while, it was no longer there. Anybody know anything else about it or its owners?
