Poplar Tunes (also known as Pop Tunes) is record store located just a short distance from Elvis' Lauderdale Courts apartment. As a teenager, Elvis spent a great deal of time in the store, immersing himself in the Memphis music scene. As Elvis became a successful artist in his own right, it is reported that he would stop in Pop Tunes to find out how well his records were selling.

Update: On September 10, 2009, Poplar Tunes closed its doors forever.
