I’ve spent years hunting for records - now we’re finally bringing it all into one shop
A new independent vinyl shop is set to open its doors in St Annes this week with a grand opening event featuring live music planned for the weekend.
The Record Den, a new independent vinyl shop in St Annes, is preparing to welcome its first customers this week as it finalises its opening plans.
Located at 40 St Andrew's Road South, FY8 1PS, the store has confirmed it will open its doors from Wednesday 24 June, giving music fans the chance to browse a wide selection of records spanning multiple genres.
Inside, the team has been busy grading, sorting and organising fresh stock ahead of launch, as the final touches are added to the new space, including its recently installed shop sign.
Owners father-and-son team Dominic Hall, 63, and Chris Hall, 37 say they have been overwhelmed by local interest, with many residents keen to know when the shop would be ready to open.
Speaking ahead of the launch, Dominic Hall, said: “The shop has developed from years of running record fairs across Blackpool, St Annes and surrounding areas.
“I previously ran a record shop in North Wales before returning to the North West to establish a permanent base. Sourcing stock is ongoing with collections regularly bought from people clearing out records or moving on unwanted items, helping keep shelves fresh and varied.”
Dom added the shop will cater for all ages with everything from classic rock and The Beatles through to newer releases and contemporary artists such as Taylor Swift, reflecting vinyl’s continuing popularity. They say they are looking forward to welcoming customers and building a new local hub for music fans on the Fylde coast.

Staff say they are looking forward to welcoming the local community and helping customers discover new and classic records alike.
