Never left this place without saying “wow” out loud at least three times. Always something crazy in here. It’s like if the Garden of Eden sold CDs. Prices are awesome as well.

We have been visiting Hoarders at least once or twice a year since 2019 and always find a gem of a record or CD to add to our collection! It is a not to be missed record store…we certainly never miss it when in the area. Their prices are always fair and they do an amazing job of getting in hard to find and rare items.
