The Record Exchange at 8642 Colesville Rd. in downtown Silver Spring will permanently close on June 9.
In an announcement posted on the shop’s Instagram account Monday afternoon, co-owner Brian France stated, “This was a difficult and heartbreaking decision, but we are unable to keep the doors open due to both financial and personal reasons.”
Customers can continue to use all store credit and punch cards for the next two weeks, and orders placed online will still be delivered as originally planned. Customers who want to be included in the shop’s thank you video can email messages and short videos up to 35 seconds to [email protected].
Record Exchange Silver Spring opened in 1999, and its ownership was taken over by longtime employees Brian France and Sheila Hunt in 2019. According to The MoCo Show, the record shop’s Frederick location will continue to operate.
