Planet Retro Records is moving from its home in the Grand Central District to a new space at 226 Dr. MLK Jr. Street North. The 1,500+ sq. ft. will offer a huge selection of records as well as a solid collection of guitars. That’s because Planet Retro partnered with Guitars of St. Pete to open the space.
The grand opening celebration will be held on November 19 from 11am to 7pm. The event will bring together the businesses of the 200 Block for a mini celebration. The event will feature live DJ’s spinning throughout the day. Coney Island HotDogs, Foolish Pride Tattoo Shop and Star Booty will also join in on the fun.
