Zia Records is a music and movie retailer serving Tucson from its Speedway location. The store describes itself as a Southwest independent record store, with a selection that extends beyond recordings and films to include novelty items, apparel, video games, books, toys, and collectibles. Its Tucson presence is part of a broader retail operation represented through the Zia Records website, which brings together music, movies and television, books, merchandise, events, and other parts of pop culture.
Music is at the center of the store's offerings. The catalog includes pre-owned vinyl, new releases, pre-orders and coming soon titles, CDs, and cassettes. Genres represented on the site range from blues, country and bluegrass, electronic, folk, industrial, jazz, K-pop, Latin, metal, punk, rap and hip-hop, reggae, rock and pop, scores and soundtracks, soul and R&B, and world music.

Shoppers can browse by genre, including action, comedy, fantasy, horror, martial arts, science fiction, and westerns. The site also highlights releases associated with labels and studios including Arrow Video, Criterion Collection, EUREKA!, Kino Lorber, Radiance Films, SHOUT!

The store's non-media merchandise includes gift cards, Zia apparel and gear, toys and collectibles, and themed collections covering subjects such as aliens and UFOs, magic and the occult, and pop culture. The website also includes employee-made merchandise and collections connected to seasonal or cultural themes. In addition to shopping, Zia Records promotes contests and events, offers a loyalty program, and provides information about its VIP program. A "Sell Your Stuff" section indicates that selling items is part of the company's customer offerings, although the specific terms and process are provided separately through the store's website.
Zia Records also identifies community involvement as part of its work through a Community Improvement section and the ZCII Grant. The available site material does not provide additional details about the grant's recipients or projects, but its inclusion alongside the company's store information shows that community initiatives are part of Zia's public-facing identity. The website includes store information for locations across the Southwest, while the Speedway store gives Tucson shoppers a local place to browse music, movies, books, collectibles, apparel, and games.
For Tucson customers, the store offers both an in-person retail experience and access to the broader Zia Records online catalog. Visitors can expect merchandise arranged across music, movies and television, books, apparel, toys, collectibles, and related pop culture categories. Those interested in events, contests, the loyalty or VIP programs, gift cards, or selling items can begin through the store's website, which also provides current information about locations, policies, and available selections.
