Solid record shop with TONS of vinyl, CDs and Casette Tapes along with home audio equipment! Really good selection. I only wish the reggae cuts were deeper because i only left with 2 reggae albums... But still worth a 5-Star review!!! Super friendly gent running the joint!!! Thanks for your time!!! Get in a swimming pool! It's hot out!

On 12/9/2025 Alija Hadzisalihovic had this to say:
Always well stocked with stuff for every budget. Rare vinyl section gets replenished often. Tons of new vinyl, a lot of which are already OOP. Some days I just go in to browse, some days I go a little nuts and fill my bags. The owner is very knowledgeable and communicative. He always has some surprise behind the counter. I always enjoy coming here.

My mom has an old stereo system that plays CDs. It still works. I went to look for Christmas CDs. They have a good variety of CDs. The staff is SUPER friendly

On 11/29/2025 Angie Gastineau had this to say:
Today was our second time visiting Hoarders. My teen daughter collects vinyl and has more than tripled her collection visiting here. She easily finds new artists and albums that she wants for her collection. The owner is friendly and really seems to care about the "young kids" finding quality music. Love the vibes, the collection, the prices, the bargain bins, and the staff. We easily spend over an hour searching the inventory and look forward to our next visit.

On 11/25/2025 Tommy Kohl had this to say:
One of THE BEST Record Stores in the Chicagoland Area. Russ is super friendly, and he knows everything about music. The Albums are sorted by artists, in Alphabetical order, sorted by Vinyl on one side of the store, and cassettes, cd's, and other memorabilia on the other side of the store.
