Lucky Cat Records

Lucky Cat Records in Minneapolis carries new and used vinyl alongside books and gifts, with a focused collection spanning post-punk, classic indie, and local rock. The store occupies a legendary South Minneapolis location at 26th and Lyndale, a space previously home to Treehouse Records and Oar Folkjokeopus, where The Replacements were famously discovered.
