Turntable City, located at 202-A West Main St. in Lexington, said it will close that storefront at the end of July as it looks to find a bigger space.

A record shop that has for years been situated in the heart of Lexington said it will close its current storefront at the end of the month, but added that it is planning a new location.

Turntable City, the record shop that offers music across a number of genes, has been located at 202-A West Main St. in Lexington for the last five years. That’s in the midst of the town’s main downtown district, next door to M. Gallery Interior Designs and not far from the Icehouse Amphitheatre.

The record shop said in a July 3 Facebook post that this month will be its last at 202-A West Main.

“We have definitely outgrown our lovely space and are moving up to a BIGGER location (to be announced soon) to fully and properly accommodate our ever growing and loving customer base,” the record shop posted.

Turntable City said that, as the change is happening, the shop will be online only beginning Aug. 1 at www.turntable-city.com.

“Lexington, SC is our home and we are definitely returning Bigger and Better than before,” the shop said on social media. “As always, our record crates are filled with tons of new, preowned, and exceptional titles ready for your enjoyment.”

The shop said that it will likely have some sales and special events before the Main Street storefront closes at the end of the month. Turntable City’s hours are 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. Wednesday through Friday and noon to 6 p.m. on Saturdays.
