A new record store in Doral and the announced opening of another in Fort Lauderdale are adding to South Florida's vinyl music scene.

Why it matters: Analog music's resurgence has seen vinyl sales in the U.S. increase for 18 straight years, selling over 43 million copies in 2024, per Statista.

South Florida has no shortage of record stores — from Sweat Records in Little Haiti to We Got the Beats Records Store, which has multiple locations in Broward County.

The latest: Crazy Vinyl Record opened in Doral in late December and Shellshock Records is opening in Fort Lauderdale sometime this year.

Crazy Vinyl Record is designed as a community space, with plans to host DJ performances and other events, according to Miami New Times.
The launch of Shellshock Records was announced by Gunther Schenk, the former general manager at Radio-Active Records in Fort Lauderdale, which closed in 2024.

If you go: Crazy Vinyl Record, 3100 NW 72nd Ave, Suite 128A.

Shellshock Records: Address yet to be announced.
