This place has it all. There is so much music to be consumed at Piranha Records, including records,…read morebut also a ton of random music-related tchotchkes. One of the best selling points and features of Piranha is that for every $20 spent, you get a $1 wooden coin back, so you get a 20:1 ratio of money back on all purchases. It may not mean much, but after stockpiling 15 wooden coins and blowing them on a record, the feeling is unbeaten. The staff is humorous and great. After Record Store Day last year, I pulled up after failing to grab a copy of the Blue Notes Alts n Ins record, and the owner gave me props for grabbing it because he personally thought it was one of the coolest releases in the collection. He asked if I had come there just to buy it or stumbled upon it. I told him I was seeking it out, and I got the nod of approval. Best day of my life. I do not think this record store has much of a purpose to visit if you are deep in Austin, since independent stores in Austin have pretty similar stock, but living in Hutto and for the people in Round Rock and Georgetown, this is a great spot and a place I love to support.

Buyer beware!!! My 15 year old bought a bag ($37.88) that…read morewas in a glass case that she was unable to see the size of the strap. With the bag on and the strap completely stretched out it barely hit her hip. We walked right back into the store to return it. They do not do returns and there are absolutely zero signs stating this. The person working today was glued to her phone so didn't hear when we originally asked for help. I told her that it's sketchy not to have signs posted stating that they don't do refunds. She said that she just works there. I then ask for a number to someone that can assist in getting signs posted. She doesn't have a number. Convenient. I then say if you have an issue with your paycheck who do you call. She stated my boss. I said perfect I'll call that number. She stated she would not give me her bosses number. I said ok then you can message them and tell them you have a disgruntled customer and have them call the store. She flat out refused to help. I had to call an entirely different store to try and get changes made. It's fishy not to have signs posted about no refunds. We have been into this store MANY times and have bought many things here. The staff we have seen there in the past has never told us of this policy. Never again!

Let me first start by saying the chick that was working today. Could you be any more rude? Not only…read moredid we walk in and your store was completely dead, looks like you were as well. You didn't say hi nor welcome not even a f*ck you, well thats ok I guess. Im a glutton for punishment, As me and my associates mingled and browsed in your store you did nothing hell I wasn't sure you were even a real person. Anyway This place is actually really nice once you get past the trash customer service. Awesome retro games, dvds, plushes and other cool stuff. Decent prices, fantastic layout. Anyways, thank god the petite chick showed up to work and helped us with our purchase just wish the other chick would wake up.

It used to be the only place you could buy the annual compilation of curated music played on KGSR Which was an incredible, eclectic station until it rebranded.

I think the last one I purchased was from year 23 which was the last time I was at Waterloo.

The store was easy to find and everything in it was also pretty easy to find if you looked closely.

I like the Round Rock location because they have plenty of handicap parking spaces and nice wide aisles, which makes getting around so much easier in my wheelchair. The employees are friendly and helpful, and they have a great selection of books, plus a fun assortment of toys that my granddaughter loves. Every visit is something we look forward to. It's always a great experience that doesn't break the bank, and we leave happy every time.

Highly curated, with so many off-beat selections. Prices are reasonable for what they offer. I have found several "Holy Grails" here. I love the fun decor and high ceilings. One thing that makes it a little hard to browse is the three-tier bins. If you're under 6' then it's actually a lot harder to see what's in the upper bins without having to take things out. Not a lot of flippability for us height challenged folk. (Just a note as an avid crate digger) I make this my FIRST stop. The employees are nice, and you get decent quality vinyl for a decent price.

We sometimes even do fun games, like this time we each went out and found 3 books we were interested in and then had the other person pick just one for us to buy and read. It was a fun time. One guy was putting back books near the front, one guy was the cashier, the line got to 5 or 6 people and weirdly the guy restocking never came over to help check people out. It is the one issue I have with this location, I don't know if others have this issue. I get with one or two people but when the line gets to 6 or more and you can CLEARLY see it from where you are stocking books just help. Anyway it was a quick visit, the cashier was friendly.
