Poole record store relocating branch to Wiltshire
Boiler Room Records has closed its Kingland Crescent shop
A Poole based record store has closed one of its branches, and relocated it to Wiltshire.
Boiler Room Records has closed its Kingland Crescent store and opened a new shop in Salisbury’s Cross Keys Shopping Centre.
Boiler Room was set up 40 years ago and is known for its dedication to the growing vinyl community.
The original shop at 27 High Street in Poole's Old Town will remain open.
Owner Mark Northey said:
“We loved our time at Kingland, especially the support from Legal & General, who have been leading the way with innovative ideas in modern retail.
“However, having two stores in close proximity was splitting our revenue. We couldn’t possibly close our original shop in Poole, so we decided to bring a proper independent record shop to Salisbury instead.”
The new store in Salisbury has undergone a huge refurbishment and increased its stock capacity to offer new vinyl, including weekly releases, and the ability to pre-order future releases, and indie exclusives.
