The Grand Emporium is an amazing place. The owner is very knowledgeable and helpful. They have a great selection of vinyl at the most reasonable prices I have found. There is also a large assortment of vintage and new books. The collection of movies and music is not to be missed either. Put a lot of money in the meter because you will be spending a long time here browsing and dropping a few bucks on that list item you thought you would never find.

Here you will find some great records at bargain prices. The records are all in pristine condition and it is the cleanest record store you will ever visit. They also have some amazing vintage audio equipment. The owner is extremely friendly and helpful. Be mindful of the hours. Open on thurs, fri, and sat.

I am a sucker for mom and pop stores. This one sells records and books. I am not really into records, but would love to buy a book from here one day. The cashier(and possibly owner?) was very friendly and helpful! It looks the same as the previous store that was here, which I do miss :(

The Grand Emporium is one of those gems that you don’t forget. Chuck, the owner, is really cool, honorable and knows his stuff. Plan on spending time and a few bucks there… it’ll be worthwhile!

This place is really, really cool. There are a lot of books you probably won’t find anywhere else in one collection. For example, I found a book of Middle Eastern tales and a book of Icelanding Sagas on the same shelf. The décor is pretty cool and very well put together. You can tell that the owner(s) really care about this store. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area.

I have frequently(more than 30 times) found just the item for anniversaries, birthdays, and last minute gifts. Great selection of unique items. Everyone is so nice and helpful.
