I wasn't sure what to expect from a store named Culture Shock. I just knew they sold records and…read morewanted in. So what can you expect? Well yes, they do sell records. New and used that appear to be mixed together (?) Either way, this looks like the go to place in town for records from the last 20-30 years (which can be hard to find sometimes). They also have older stuff. It's not huge but it's big enough for me and there's some real gems to be found. The other 2/3 of the store is like a gift shop. Is all fun items like Jesus shaving mugs, cat unicorn horns, and ugly Christmas sweaters. Culture Shock should be your go to place for white elephant gifts that are actually fun.

Alot to dig through, and you'll probably find something if not new music to listen to.

They had a dollar bin, and I found a good amount versus just 1 like most places that even have cheapo bins anymore.

This place exemplifies the continued allure of brick and mortar record stores. We stopped in on a…read morerainy Sunday afternoon and had an engaging conversation with the two owners. The selection is strongest from the 60's and 70's and bins are all well organized. The condition of the records is generally good and prices are competitive. They will put on anything you are considering buying. There is some other merch including tshirts and record players.Two tips: 1. You can't find the entrance from the street address, go around to the parking lot side to see their sign; and 2. Pet their friendly dog.

The prices are always really reasonable, and regular sales mean you're often getting a deal on that. The woman who runs the store is just so sweet and so friendly, and even though there's usually some kind of Jesus radio playing in the background and I get the impression that she's really religious, she's the nice kind of Christian. I've been to other Christian thrift stores that feel uncomfortable, judgmental, and pushy but this place is just really professional and fun.
