Houston: Vinal Edge Records heading to The Heights

HOUSTON, TX — A staple on the city’s North Side for over two decades now, Vinal Edge Records will soon be moving to its new location in the historic Heights area: West 19th Street to be exact.

A neighborhood filled with trendy antique shops, cafes, boutiques and galleries, Vinal Edge will take over the former space of Elegant Notions, the beads and jewelry store at 239 West 19^th Street.

In April, Chuck Roast –owner of the record store for over 25 years, and his staff of two, Sam and Travis talked to me about working in the shop, but here Roast talks about the exciting move into their new home in the Heights.

Tell us about the new spot. What changes can we expect?

235 more square feet to play with! We’re adding a couple fixtures for more records and toys. Higher walls for more cool collectibles and shirts. We hope to have more in-store events like shows, listening parties, maybe even beer tastings!

When’s the official grand re-opening?

Shooting for July 1st.

How much longer will the Veteran’s Memorial location be open?

Probably close it down a week before.

And last question: What closeout sales do you guys have going on right now?

Each weekend it is something different. This weekend it’s promo posters. All the details will go through our Facebook and email list updates.
