About Preserving Record Shop

Preserving Record Shop is located on the main floor of the New Ken Social complex in a former church. Customers can find the shop on the corner of 5th Ave & 11th St using Entrances A & B. The shop's hours are announced every Sunday evening via social media and on Google. Preserving offers a wide selection of records, CDs, and vintage metal T-shirts. Customers praise the shop's friendly staff and vast inventory. The venue also hosts live shows, which are popular with attendees. This incredibly rad destination spot offers a gargantuan selection of records, tapes, CDs, band apparel, turntables, amps, speakers, and posters. It features quite possibly the world's only Hardcore (music) Museum. The staff is cool, and prices are lower than the internet. It is a well curated shop, especially impressive with the Black Metal selection. There are numerous items for sale that customers have been looking for for years at fair prices. It is always worth the visit. Note: it is cash only but they have an ATM in-house. All metal heads and rock n rollers need to come here asap! The selection is amazing from punk to death metal and everything in between. It is definitely going to be returning to pickup more records!
