Record Krate
Record store in Raleigh, NC
Record Krate stocks vinyl and cassettes in a dense, cramped space on Saint Marys Street in Raleigh. The bins are tightly packed across multiple genres. Staff greet customers on arrival.
In-person browsing yields results for some shoppers, though the small footprint frustrates others. Online orders carry risk: one customer reported a 19-day delay in shipment, no communication from the owner after purchase, and eventual blocking on Instagram. The storefront has also drawn complaints about odor.
