NEWTON Abbot’s independent record store is turning the page on an exciting new chapter as it prepares to relocate to new premises in the town.

After 20 years on Queen Street, Phoenix Sounds is relocating just a short walk across town to East Street.

The store will reopen on June 21.

The move marks a significant milestone for the stores owners, who have spent the last three years growing a loyal community of vinyl lovers and music fans from across Devon and beyond.

The new premises promises the same great mix of new and second-hand vinyl, friendly expertise, and passion for music—just in a fresh new space, designed to offer a different, modern, shopping experience which concentrates more on vinyl, the Mid-Devon Advertiser understands.

‘We have loved being part of the Queen Street community, but this move gives us the opportunity to continue doing what we love in a location that works better for our future financial needs’, Roger Cox, co-owner of Phoenix Sounds, said.

‘Things are tough for all small businesses at the moment, this decision came from increases in overheads this year.

‘My wife Marsha and I are incredibly grateful for the continued support from our amazing customers and can’t wait to welcome everyone to our new home’ Roger added.

The grand reopening will feature exclusive in store discounts and refreshments.

Whether you're a seasoned collector or simply curious, everyone is invited to pop in, browse the shelves, and celebrate this exciting next step with the whole of the Phoenix Sounds team.

The shops new address from June 21: Phoenix Sounds - 2–4 East Street.
