Through some good friends of mine I set up a relation with a local arcade whose business was thriving and would be a perfect spot to sublet a corner. This relation lasted for two years at which time I realized the need for another record shop in town and it just so happened that the space next door was up for lease. It was too good to believe I had just opened a full sized record shop!
In September of 2013 Hippo Records officially opened its doors to the public.
