There is a good mix of vintage and new to thumb through. Highly recommend for crate diggers. There are some real gems to find and not just a lot of unrecognizable, dilapidated records from your great uncle's garage. The staff is super helpful if you're looking for something in particular. They also have the capability of ordering and shipping for selections not on hand. It is refreshing to see vinyl make a comeback, the store was packed with people and everyone had at least one record to buy. We live about 50 miles away and we will make special trips to Ogden just to shop at Lavendar.

What a cool find! I live down south, and although this is quite a drive, I've always had…read moresatisfaction on my visits. They have a large and wide range of retro options all the way to latest generation consoles and game selections. A good chunk of their catalog rotates fairly often and some rare finds make their way around the shelves too. They also provide disk resurfacing services. I've brought up all my GameCube Games over the last year or so and they're so helpful and quick! And in the event that a disc is too damaged, they'll show you exactly what is happening and still let you choose whether or not you want to proceed. The transparency here is extremely appreciated. Something as simple as me wanting to know more about how they fixed another customer's PS5 HDMI port and they showed me everything I needed to know and also gave me tips and tricks for if I ever needed to do it myself. Overall, this place is very welcoming, and I've never had a bad experience thus far. If you are looking to expand your collection, check this place out!

I got my PS5 back only to find out, they cleaned it but told me it still won't work, and then I plugged it in to get my movie out and found out they stole the movie and never gave it back to me, so now I have an empty case, I lost 60 dollars for nothing, and they stole my movie. I'm pretty sure that whatever was in the PS5 was supposed to come back WITH my PS5.

The owner Rand is so cool and I was able to snag a nice Paul Simon record at a great price! He was enjoying music as we walked in, so this man knows good music. Don't forget to check out the upstairs part of the shop, there are some really cute clothing pieces like quilted overalls, sweaters, and the like, as well as some vintage items. If there's anything in particular that you're looking for, Rand can help you find it! Don't be afraid to ask. I wish we had more time in SLC to explore more antique shops, but that just means we have to return again in the near future. I wish Rand nothing but continued good business with his little shop!

I have been here several times and enjoy it immensely. Their record collection keeps growing, and they have a solid system to help you sort out what you're looking for. As far as value, it depends on what you value. If you're looking for vintage, quality and rarity, with a dash of random, then this may be your jam.

Floor to ceiling shelves, stuffed-and I mean stuffed-full of inventory. Clothing, dishes, trinkets, toys, hardware, art, you name it, they've got it. There's a certain "smell" in the place that even lends the it's authenticity. It's a cross between the basement in grandma's house and the old shed out back. Sadly, when I visited, I didn't get there early enough to properly browse through all the goodies, but I got a good enough glimpse to tell me that I want to go back. One item of note, that I'm not sure how to feel about...there was a collection of hat pins, one with a swastikas design. I understand that it is history, and technically an antique, but it did make me feel a little icky. Overall though, there are some amazing things in this shop and you could get lost for hours in here just looking through everything.

As soon as we walked in the front doors, he was bouncing around the store like a pinball :) He ended up finding so many books he wanted and even unexpectedly stumbled upon a signed copy of a Michael Vey book! He was so excited! I thought it was so neat that they had those. Barnes & Noble isn't just books. They had toys, legos, games, and even some apparel. If you get thirsty, they have a Starbucks inside to quench your thirst! If you ever need help locating an item, the employees are always happy to help. Just ask and they can usually find it for you or give you an idea on where to look. I've had nothing but great experiences here. We love Barnes & Noble!

The staff are friendly, and I've had some friendly chats with other customers as well. It is a fun place to commune over our shared interest of music. There is plenty of new and used vinyl, and they even have a decent cassette and CD selection. Bright lighting and some good background music make it easy to find things and lose track of time. They have a very active, friendly Facebook community as well. A must visit in Sandy.

A decent sized Used collection with not a lot of highlights. And when highlights come up, they're a little overpriced. I would use Discogs to make sure you're getting a fair deal. I do like the owner and the community behind Daybreak! They'll have weekly auctions online and the customer base might be my favorite I've encountered. However, the auctions are similar to the store, in that not much is being offered, and somehow they're bidding for things that I know might sell for 5x less. I've gone to about 4 auctions and I've seen the same record bought 4 times. I've seen this same record at the store too, and it's not like a special record haha. I'm not sure if the customer base wants to burn money? Like record collecting, of course, is a money-burning hobby, it just looks like they're burning dough for records that just ain't worth it. I do wish the selection here felt like it wasn't for people that just listen to classic rock radio all the time. What keeps me from crate digging is how unorganized everything is. Sure, separated by genre, but I'm not sure if any organization goes into these genres. It's like they just saw what had space and put incoming records in those spaces. You could find an elvis record and then 4 crates later find another (or maybe the same) Elvis record, knowing you went through different artists. Customers will be lazy and leave records in the wrong place but this is insanity.

I guess they couldn't get the case open, so now I gotta come back another day to try and get it and I don't think it's worth the hassle. The employee was very insistent on me buying the console today which was a little off-putting. It felt more like the guy that came in only cared about making money which didn't really sit right with me. I get it's a business but he didn't really act professional. The guy who helped me at the register was nice though. Lastly, most of their product is VERY overpriced with a few exceptions.

Sweet treats (like cookies or chocolates) or savory snacks (like nuts) are typical gifts for friends and family. My daughters, however, usually request Pokemon plushes/stuffed dolls that they don't already have and/or may be very hard to find back home. So when I visited Utah recently to attend my oldest daughter's wedding, my honey-do-list included a trip to Gamestop to search for the requested Pokemon. Unfortunately, they didn't have anything new or different. Rooster's, on the other hand, had no less than 6 Pokemon that neither girl had. When I called the Mrs for confirmation, the word I got was, "They want this one, and that one, and how about that one, too." The staff was fantastic. The prices very reasonable for rarer Pokemon dolls. Thanks again Rooster's!!!
