New Shop
AN EXTRAORDINARY TURN OF EVENTS
After over 15 years at 28 New Street, having the best time, loving every minute and now entering advancing years it just seems the right time to......... ....open another Record Shop!!!! Don't panic, we are only moving next door but one (still on New Street,Mold), our beloved 'smallest record shop' will also stay in our hands after opening the new shop, so I guess this now makes us a chain!
Our existing shop will remain the same for now and may still have a role to play from time to time after the opening of the new shop but more about that soon. I know how much the size of our little shop (and the fact it is currently still the smallest UK independent record shop) has meant to some and also us and it has been great fun, also a big part of Record Store Day and a source of interest locally and from afar- we don't want to lose the feel of this at our new address. The next VOD shop will continue on from where we are but just be bigger and with it comes the challenge... we are more used to not being able to stretch our legs and easing people in amd out of the shop with 'musical chairs' moments. The front of new shop itself will carry more new vinyl than before but be basically the same with additional browsing room and better access for everyone which has to be a good thing . Beyond the front of the shop we are working on a few ideas to best utilise the additional space. We hope this is not too much of a shock, it's either a great idea or I have completely lost the plot ha ha! But I am certain it will once again be fun and any Record shop is really about the people who visit it, browse,chat and exchange banter, the bricks and mortar are secondary. The move itself will take a little time with late August/early September being the current target , so for now it is as we were still at 28 New Street . Before and after the opening of the new shop our website will remain the same for orders, pre orders etc nothing will really change apart from the shop location and details will appear on our website and be updated as we go. This was not even on our radar but when the opportunity was presented to us it had to be considered but have to say it was very difficult to even think about this move and still feel the emotions rising to the surface every time I open up at No.28 but an old saying comes to mind "Failure is not trying in the first place", as always we are optimistic, will give it our best shot and at the end of the day we still have No,28!
Thank you for your support to this point, and we hope you will be part of the next part of the VOD adventure.
For now see you at 28 New Street, Thursday, Friday and Saturday 10am-4pm.
