Whole Foods now selling Vinyl! Wants to be a Lifestyle Brand.

The grocery store may have taken the sales cue from two other retailers who like to view themselves as purveyors of alt-cool, Starbucks and Urban Outfitters. Both retail giants have moonlighted in the music business for years, Starbucks with their omnipresent register-side CDs and Urban Outfitters is knee-deep in vinyl sales (In fact, Urban Outfitters has become one of the nation’s largest retailers of records).

The move could prove a business boon for Whole Foods: Music industry profits overall are were iffy last year, but vinyl saw a 19 percent upswing in sales. It’s unlikely that the record stores will provide a significant financial boost to Whole Foods’ substantial bottom line ($11.7 billion in sales last year), but it does give the retailer an interesting branding shift. Adding records helps move the chain from a grocery store to a lifestyle brand.



No word on whether the Richmond Whole Foods will be selling Meade Skelton records.

Good news, can't wait to check it. At first I expected to find something like Rvinyl recommendations and its customer support team https://rvinyl.pissedconsumer.com/customer-service.html , but I found something even better.
