Vinyl Attractions in Newark relocated from Cartergate to Kirkgate and sees footfall increase

New customers have been able to discover the delights at a town record store — after it moved to its third location.

Vinyl Attraction moved to 48 Kirkgate, Newark on May 2. The store first opened a unit on Stodman Street in 2019, but within 18 months it had outgrown the space and moved into Cartergate.

With a need for expansion and extra storage, store owner Tony Mills felt the time was right to move to a new premises.

Tony said: “The biggest difference I find from here is the people who used to go to the old shop still come but there are completely new people who didn’t even know I was there.

“Because they live around this end of town they didn’t go as far as Cartergate, they stayed around the market.

“There is much more footfall in this location, 50% more according to the council.”

The store is located within easy access of some of Newark’s key routes — Kirkgate, Church Street and Wilson Street.

Tony said this location will be “third and last” as he aims to retire in three years.

“If I can do as well as we did before and a little bit more then I will be happy,” he concluded.

The store is open Tuesday to Saturday from 9.30am to 4.30pm.
