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. Lucky Cat Records is the only female-owned and operated independent record store in the Twin Cities, bringing fresh ownership to a historically significant music retail location.

Located at 2557 Lyndale Ave S, Lucky Cat Records specializes in an expansive local music section reflecting its connection to Minneapolis's vibrant music scene. The store functions as both a record shop and bookstore, offering curated selections for collectors and casual music fans alike. Its presence on this storied corner continues a legacy of independent music retail in the neighborhood.
