Story
Hello vinyl lovers. We are a 'pop up' venture committed to bringing quality used and new vinyl to the local community of Altrincham. We have gradually built up the stall over the past few years and cherish the relationships that we have established with a growing base of regular customers (who all have immaculate music taste). We also have customers that travel to the stall from as far as Birmingham, Stoke, Hull & Peak District... bringing visitors to the Altrincham area.
Aside from ensuring that the vinyl we stock is 'quality', our other core aim is too make vinyl shopping/crate digging an accessible activity for everyone. All too often vinyl shops can feel like an intimidating space for especially for young people and women. We believe the joy of vinyl and crate digging should be enjoyed by all.
We have been unexpectedly hit with a significant increase in costs and are faced with the very real prospect of not being able to continue in our current location. This is devastating for us as we have worked so hard to build connections in the area over the past few years.
We are seeking support through crowd funding to help us to remain in our 'vinyl home' until we are able to resolve this issue or find a new location. £240 will help us to meet the additional costs imposed on us and ensure that we can continue to provide at least one pop up weekend a month for a 6 month period.
The climate in retail is extremely difficult at the moment and if ever there was a time to support independent business's and start ups, this is it. As a thank you for your support investors of £20 and above will receive a 10% off voucher.
We really hope our time sharing the vinyl love in Altrincham is not coming to an end.
