Metro Detroit has more than 25 verified open record stores organized across five counties: Wayne, Oakland, Macomb, Washtenaw, and Livingston. Wayne County leads with nine locations including Third Man Records in Detroit's Cass Corridor, Peoples Records near Eastern Market, and Dearborn Music, which has operated since 1956. Oakland County has seven shops within minutes of each other. Macomb County is anchored by Melodies and Memories in Eastpointe, home to 150,000 records. Ann Arbor holds three Washtenaw County shops, and Galaxy Records in Howell serves Livingston County as its only full-time vinyl store. All locations verified March 2026.
Metro Detroit record stores are as much a part of this region's identity as the auto industry and Motown. The music runs deep here, and so do the crates. Whether you have been digging vinyl for thirty years or just pulled a turntable out of a box, this guide has every shop organized by county so you can plan a route, not just a single stop.
This is a complete, verified directory of every currently open independent record store across Metro Detroit. Stores are listed within each county from Detroit outward, with addresses, phone numbers, and specific details about what makes each shop worth the drive. All locations were cross-checked against multiple sources in March 2026.
One quick note before you head out: independent shops shift hours seasonally and sometimes without much online notice. Always check the store's social media or call ahead, especially on weekdays. One store on this list, Submerge in Detroit, is by appointment only. That detail is clearly noted.

Wayne County Record Stores
Wayne County record stores (9 locations): Third Man Records (Detroit, Cass Corridor), Peoples Records (Detroit, Eastern Market district), Paramita Sound (Detroit, Downtown), Submerge (Detroit, North End, by appointment), Record Graveyard (Hamtramck), Ripe Records Detroit (Grosse Pointe Park), Dearborn Music flagship (Dearborn), Hello Records (Lincoln Park), Slick Disc Music (Trenton).
Wayne County is the heart of Metro Detroit's vinyl scene, with nine locations spread from Detroit's Cass Corridor all the way down to Trenton at the southern end of the Downriver corridor. No other county comes close. If you are exploring real estate in any of these communities, you will find neighborhoods that pair the density of great record hunting with genuinely livable streets, which is not a coincidence. These are the areas that attract people who care about culture.
Third Man Records Cass Corridor, Facebook
Third Man Records
Open: Mon-Sat (11am-6pm) | Sun (11am-5pm)
441 W Canfield St, Detroit, MI 48201
Phone: (313) 209-5205
Website: Third Man Records
Third Man Records is one of the only record stores on earth with a working vinyl pressing plant in the basement, and it is open to the public. Located on West Canfield Street in Detroit's Cass Corridor, steps from Wayne State University and the Detroit Institute of Arts, the store opened in 2015 after Jack White launched the Third Man label in 2001. The selection leans toward the label's own catalog: White Stripes, Raconteurs, Dead Weather, plus deep reissues from classic labels. But indie, garage, folk, and experimental releases fill out the floor. The merchandise is legitimately excellent. If you can only visit one record store in Detroit, this is the one with the most to see.
Peoples Records
Open: Mon-Sat (10am-7pm) | Sun (11am-4pm)
1464 Gratiot Ave, Detroit, MI 48207
Phone: (313) 831-0864
Website: Peoples Records
Peoples Records carries rare jazz, R&B, gospel, and soul 45s that collectors fly in from Japan and Germany specifically to access, and that is not an exaggeration. Located on Gratiot Avenue directly across from Eastern Market, inside the Trinosophes arts space, owner Brad Hales has been running this used-vinyl-only shop since 2003. The store also houses the Michigan Audio Heritage Society (MAHS) Museum, the only archive in the state dedicated to recorded music history. If you are serious about 45s, pre-book a trip.
Paramita Sound
Open: Wed-Thur (5pm-12am) | Fri-Sat (5pm-2am) | Sun (1-8pm)
1517 Broadway St, Detroit, MI 48226
Phone: (313) 433-6494
Website: Paramita Sound
Paramita is a record shop and wine bar on Broadway Street in Detroit's downtown theater district, open Wednesday through Sunday with later hours on weekends. The selection is curated and deliberate: house, techno, soul, and left-of-center releases that reflect Detroit's actual musical DNA rather than a greatest-hits approximation of it. Local DJs spin while you browse. It is one of the few places in the city where buying a record and having a drink while you do it is genuinely part of the concept.
If you are planning a record store run this month, there is plenty more happening across Metro Detroit worth building a full day around
Submerge Record Distribution
Open: open to the public every Saturday from 3 PM to 7 PM
3000 E Grand Blvd, Detroit, MI 48202
Phone: (313) 377-1044
Website: Submerge Record Distribution
APPOINTMENT ONLY. Contact Submerge through submerge.com before visiting. This is not a drop-in location.
Submerge is the operational headquarters of Underground Resistance, the Detroit techno collective co-founded by Mike Banks and Jeff Mills. Located on East Grand Boulevard in Detroit's North End neighborhood, the building also houses Exhibit 3000, the world's only museum dedicated to Detroit techno, with original instruments, gear, artwork, and ephemera from the genre's origin story. The record inventory is deep in techno and related genres. This is a pilgrimage destination, not a browsing stop. Plan ahead and it will be one of the more memorable music experiences you have had anywhere.
Record Graveyard
Open: Mon-Sat (11am-6pm)
2610 Carpenter Ave, Hamtramck, MI 48212
Phone: (313) 870-9647
Website: Record Graveyard
Record Graveyard is very much alive, and the name is a misdirect. Located on Carpenter Street in Hamtramck, just north of Detroit's east side near Joseph Campau Avenue, the store carries jazz, blues, Motown, and Polish polka that reflect Hamtramck's layered history better than almost anything else in the city. They also sell records on eBay for collectors who know their holy grail before they walk in. Prices are fair, finds are eclectic, and the neighborhood is worth exploring while you are there.
Ripe Records Detroit
Open: Wed-Thur (2-8pm) | Fri-Sat (12-8pm) | Sun (12-6pm)
15005 Kercheval Ave, Grosse Pointe Park, MI 48230
Phone: (313) 469-7479
Website: Ripe Records Detroit
Ripe Records is a husband-and-wife-owned shop that has earned its following by doing one thing extremely well: curating quality over quantity. It is the only Audio-Technica authorized turntable dealer in the area, and in-house repairs for turntables, stereos, and receivers are available. Regular album listening parties (intimate, community-focused events) have made it a genuine hub for east side and Grosse Pointe music lovers. Worth planning a Friday or Saturday trip around.
Dearborn Music
Open: Mon-Sat (9:30am-9pm) | Sun (11am-6pm)
22501 Michigan Ave, Newman St, Dearborn, MI 48124
Phone: (313) 561-1000
Website: Dearborn Music
The original Dearborn Music has been on Michigan Avenue, one of Wayne County's main east-west commercial corridors, since 1956, making it one of the longest-running independent record stores in the country. Over 50,000 titles across LPs, CDs, and DVDs. Decades of recognition as the region's top independent retailer are fully earned. If you are new to crate digging and want to see what a truly stocked independent shop looks like, this is the reference point.
Hello Records
Open: Wed-Sat (11am-7pm) | Sun (12-5pm)
4165 Fort St, Lincoln Park, MI 48146
Phone: (313) 300-5654
Website: Hello Records
Hello Records started in Detroit's Corktown neighborhood before relocating to a larger Fort Street space in Lincoln Park during the pandemic. Fort Street is one of the main arteries of the Downriver corridor, near the Allen Road and I-75 interchange. The move allowed the store to expand from vinyl into CDs, DVDs, posters, and memorabilia. Staff pre-screens the selection, which means less sorting and more finding.
Slick Disc Music
Open: Mon-Sat (10am-8pm) | Sun (12-5pm)
1625 West Rd, Trenton, MI 48183
Phone: (734) 692-1881
Website: Slick Disc Music
Verify hours before visiting. Slick Disc is confirmed active in Record Store Day directories but hours fluctuate
Mom-and-son owned since 1988, Slick Disc sits on West Road at the southern end of the Downriver corridor in Trenton, near West Road and Fort Street. It is the kind of small shop that has been quietly doing its thing for decades while hipper stores got the press coverage: new and used records, apparel, and accessories, with finds you will not turn up anywhere else. Worth the drive if you are already heading Downriver.
Wayne County has more to offer than great record stores. From Detroit's Cass Corridor to the Grosse Pointes to the Downriver suburbs, The Perna Team has spent 24-plus years helping buyers and sellers navigate every neighborhood on this list.

Oakland County has seven vinyl record stores and the highest shop density in Metro Detroit. The Ferndale-to-Royal-Oak-to-Berkley corridor along and near Woodward Avenue puts six shops within fifteen minutes of each other, making it a genuine crate-digging loop that could fill a full afternoon. Oakland County also consistently ranks among the most searched markets for Metro Detroit homebuyers, and neighborhoods like Ferndale, Royal Oak, and Berkley deliver on that interest with walkability, dining, and community that is hard to match anywhere else in the region.
Found Sound, Facebook
Found Sound
Open: Mon-Sat (11am-8pm)
234 W 9 Mile Rd, Ferndale, MI 48220
Phone: (248) 565-8775
Website: Found Sound
Found Sound has been a fixture on Nine Mile Road in downtown Ferndale since 2012, right in the heart of one of Metro Detroit's most walkable commercial strips off the Woodward Avenue corridor. Full-service means exactly that: new and used LPs, 45s, CDs, music-related books, and a staff that has worked this floor long enough to know their inventory by feel. Free in-store performances, a genuinely welcoming atmosphere for new collectors, and genre coverage from Detroit techno to jazz to indie rock. One of the best all-around shops in the region.
Street Corner Music
Open: Mon-Fri (12-7pm) | Sat (12-6pm) | Sun (1-5pm)
26020 Greenfield Rd, Oak Park, MI 48237
Phone: (248) 967-0777
Website: Street Corner Music
Street Corner Music sits on Greenfield Road in Oak Park, just south of Eight Mile Road near the Southfield Freeway, next door to indie bookstore Book Beat. The stock runs from Isaac Hayes to Greta Van Fleet with rare gems throughout: David Bowie promos, Prince picture discs, vintage soul records that collectors drive past three other stores to find. It carries the exact energy of a 1990s record store that never got the memo that era ended, and that is entirely the point.
If you are already planning a day in Oakland County, you can easily pair a record store run with a stop at one of the many great independent bookstores in the area, the two cultures overlap more than you might expect
Detroit Record Club
Open: Mon-Fri (12-7pm) | Sat-Sun (12-5pm)
28834 Woodward Ave, Royal Oak, MI 48067
Phone: (248) 565-8683
Website: Detroit Record Club
Opened in 2019 on Woodward Avenue in downtown Royal Oak, the main commercial spine connecting Detroit's inner suburbs. The Detroit Record Club earns its place with one defining practice: every record is hand-cleaned before it hits the floor. That matters more than most people realize until they buy a warped record somewhere that skips that step. The selection is curated and cool, the hi-fi equipment is thoughtfully chosen, and the reading section covers music history and culture. A shop for collectors who care about condition.
UHF Records
Open: Mon-Sat (11am-7pm) | Sun (12-6pm)
512 S Washington Ave, Royal Oak, MI 48067
Phone: (248) 545-5955
Website: UHF Records
UHF is on South Washington Avenue in the heart of downtown Royal Oak, sharing a wall with vintage clothing boutique Lost and Found, which tells you exactly what kind of store this is. New and used LPs, CDs, DVDs, books, magazines, and vintage turntables and receivers in a compact space that rewards slow browsing. Fair pricing and a staff that keeps the selection genuinely interesting.
Solo Records
Open: Mon-Fri (11am-8pm) | Sat (11am-6pm) | Sun (12-5pm)
30148 Woodward Ave, Royal Oak, MI 48073
Phone: (248) 549-0581
Website: Solo Records
Solo Records has been on Woodward Avenue in Royal Oak since 1982, founded by a jazz drummer and his daughter. Over forty years of buying and selling has built an inventory that covers vinyl, CDs, cassettes, DVDs, reel-to-reel tapes, and 8-tracks across every genre imaginable. Collectors with specific holy grails check here before they check anywhere else. The institutional knowledge alone is worth the visit.
Flipside Records
Open: Mon-Sat (11am-7pm)
3099 Coolidge Hwy, Berkley, MI 48072
Phone: (248) 585-4090
Website: Flipside Records
Flipside has been buying and selling records since 1980, one of the oldest independent shops in Metro Detroit. After nearly four decades in Clawson, the store moved to Coolidge Highway in Berkley in 2022, right next to the Berkley Public Library, just south of Twelve Mile Road. The range extends beyond vinyl into used video games, collectible toys, stereo equipment, posters, and a strong metal and punk selection the store has always been known for. Regular in-store shows on weekends keep it active year-round.
Dearborn Music
Open: Mon-Thur (10am-8pm) | Fri-Sat (10am-9pm) | Sun (11am-5pm)
33025 Grand River Ave, Farmington, MI 48336
Phone: (248) 516-3898
Website: Dearborn Music
Dearborn Music's second location opened on Grand River Avenue in downtown Farmington in 2021, filling a real gap for collectors in western Oakland County. Same selection philosophy as the 1956 Dearborn flagship: vinyl, CDs, band merch, turntables, and memorabilia curated to reach multiple generations at once. If you are west of M-5 and looking for a proper record shop, this is it.
Oakland County's record store corridor runs right through some of Metro Detroit's most sought-after zip codes. The Perna Team has helped hundreds of buyers find homes in Ferndale, Royal Oak, Berkley, and Oak Park. If you are curious about what is available in any of these neighborhoods, we are happy to help.

Macomb County Record Stores
Macomb County record stores (5 locations): Melodies and Memories (Eastpointe, Gratiot Ave), Village Vinyl (Sterling Heights, Van Dyke Ave), Blast in the Past (Roseville, Gratiot Ave), Trax 'N Wax (St. Clair Shores, Harper Ave), Weirdsville Records (Mount Clemens, Macomb Place).
Macomb County holds five verified open record stores, with Melodies and Memories in Eastpointe serving as one of the most significant vinyl shops in the entire Metro Detroit region, and not just the county. The five stores run along and near the Gratiot Avenue corridor from Eastpointe north to Mount Clemens, the Macomb County seat.
Melodies & Memories, Facebook
Melodies and Memories
Open: Mon-Thur (12-4pm) | Fri-Sun (12-4:30pm)
23013 Gratiot Ave, Eastpointe, MI 48021
Phone: (586) 774-8480
Website: Melodies and Memories
Melodies and Memories has been on Gratiot Avenue near Nine Mile Road in Eastpointe since 1988, and its inventory of more than 150,000 records is not a marketing number. It is a physical reality you understand immediately when you walk in. The store is a genuine museum of music history: it currently houses the Golden World Clock from Detroit's historic Golden World record label. In 2018, it made international music news when it sold the rarest 45 in the world: Frank Wilson's "Do I Love You (Indeed I Do)," sold to Jack White, who repressed it as a Record Store Day release. You do not know what you are going to find here until you find it. That is the whole point.
That kind of find is only possible in Detroit, a city whose recorded music history runs deep enough that the full story of how it all started still surprises people
Village Vinyl
Open: Mon-Sat (12-7pm) | Sun (12-6pm)
34230 Van Dyke Ave, Sterling Heights, MI 48312
Phone: (586) 838-4992
Website: Village Vinyl
Village Vinyl relocated from Warren to its current Van Dyke Avenue location in Sterling Heights, between 14 and 15 Mile Roads, an easy stop off M-53. A compact space with an intentionally curated selection of vinyl and merch, it has become the consistent go-to for collectors working the northern Macomb corridor.
Blast in the Past
Open: Mon-Fri (10am-5pm) | Sat (10am-6pm)
28071 Gratiot Ave, Roseville, MI 48066
Phone: (586) 775-3289
Website: Blast in the Past
Blast in the Past is on Gratiot Avenue in Roseville near 11 Mile Road, and it operates somewhere between record store and time machine. Alongside vinyl and cassettes, the store carries pop culture collectibles, action figures, toys, and movie memorabilia at prices that genuinely invite buying rather than just looking. If you grew up in Macomb County in the 1980s or 1990s, budget extra time here.
Trax 'N Wax
Open: Mon-Sat (11am-8pm) | Sun (12-6pm)
26535 Harper Ave, St Clair Shores, MI 48081
Phone: (586) 218-8188
Website: Trax 'N Wax
Trax 'N Wax moved from the Gibraltar Trade Center in Mount Clemens to Harper Avenue in St. Clair Shores near 10 Mile Road after Gibraltar closed in 2017. The inventory skews accessible rather than rare, with plenty of finds in the five-to-ten-dollar range, plus CDs, DVDs, and games. A strong first stop for new collectors, and an easy add-on when visiting other Macomb County shops on the same run.
Weirdsville Records
Open: Tue-Fri (11am-7pm) | Sat (11am-5pm) | Sun (12-5pm)
61 Macomb Pl, Mount Clemens, MI 48043
Phone: (586) 468-2665
Website: Weirdsville Records
Weirdsville has been on Macomb Place in downtown Mount Clemens (the Macomb County seat, just off I-94) since 2011, and the name is fully earned. Nearly 21,000 records across garage, surf, rock, punk, new wave, and country share the building with Paperback Writer Books next door (same address, separate doors), plus tiki wares, horror shirts, model kits, effects pedals, and vintage toys. They also run their own internet radio station. Nothing else in Metro Detroit quite like it.
Macomb County has more going on than most people outside the county realize. From Eastpointe and Roseville to Sterling Heights and Mount Clemens, The Perna Team works across all of Macomb. If you are buying, selling, or just curious about values in this market, we are a quick call away.

Washtenaw County Record Stores
Washtenaw County record stores (3 locations, all in Ann Arbor): Encore Records (university district, N 4th Ave), Underground Sounds (downtown, E Washington St), Wazoo Records (near U of M campus, S State St, open since 1974).
All three Washtenaw County record stores are in Ann Arbor, and together they cover the full range of what a vinyl shop can be: new releases, rare used stock, and over fifty years of eclectic inventory. Ann Arbor is also one of the most stable and competitive real estate markets in the broader Metro Detroit region, worth understanding if you are considering Washtenaw County.
Encore Records, Facebook
Encore Records
Open: Mon-Sat (11am-7pm) | Sun (12-5pm)
208 N 4th Ave, Ann Arbor, MI 48104

An essential stop on any crate-digging trip into Washtenaw County.
Underground Sounds
Open: Mon (12-7pm) | Tue-Thur (11am-7pm) | Fri-Sat (11am-9pm) | Sun (12-6pm)
120 E Washington St, Ann Arbor, MI 48104
Phone: (734) 327-9239
Website: Underground Sounds
Underground Sounds is on East Washington Street in downtown Ann Arbor and does one thing differently from almost every other shop on this list: it specializes in new release vinyl and compact discs, sold below list price. If you are the kind of collector who tracks release dates and shows up on drop day, this is your store. The staff knows new music the way other shops know vintage stock.
Wazoo Records
Open: Mon-Tue, Thur-Fri (12-6pm) | Sat-Sun (10am-6pm)
336 S State St, Ann Arbor, MI 48104
Phone: (734) 761-8686
Website: Wazoo Records
Wazoo has been on South State Street near the University of Michigan since 1974, which means it predates most of the people likely to read this article. The inventory runs from the sublime to the ridiculous to the ridiculously rare. An online catalog lets you browse from anywhere if you know what you are after before you visit. The physical store is compact, carefully tended, and deeply stocked.
Livingston County Record Stores

New and used LPs, CDs, DVDs, Blu-rays, cassettes, and 45s fill the inventory, with particular strength in metal and classic rock. A loyal local following has built around collectors who previously had to drive to Oakland or Wayne County for a proper vinyl shop. They also participate in Record Store Day annually.
