Service Merchandise is the debut studio album by Los Angeles hip hop trio Previous Industries, a group consisting of rappers Open Mike Eagle, Still Rift, and Video Dave. The album was released on June 28, 2024, by Merge Records. It was preceded by three singles.
The group originated during hangouts at Eagle's apartment during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, with group writing sessions leading to the creation of the album's songs. The project revolves thematically around the subject of defunct American retail chains, with the album and all its songs named after various such stores.
Most of the album was produced by Child Actor, aside from two songs produced by Quelle Chris and one by Smoke Bonito. The album features two guest verses: Queen Herawin on "Montgomery Ward", and Quelle Chris on "Dominick's".
