52.5 Records startred as a small record store that opened at 52.5 Wentworth Street in 1997 with 500 square feet of store space. It out grew the space and move to 561 King Street in 2006 and has been a huge part of the music industry in Cannonborough ever since. At 52.5 Records they have strong corporate culture that revolves around the music and not the money and coincidentally this has allowed them to compete with large chain retailers such as Best Buy, Target, and Wal-Mart.
A quote that 52.5 lives by is “Money doesn’t matter. Only music matters. When people think first about the money and then about the music, the music won’t be worth the money they were thinking about.” This was said by Robert Nesty Marley and has helped 52.5 find a niche market within the music retailing industry that keeps them competitive and profitable. Their store is truly amazing and provides a nice change from the normal chain retailer. It makes the customer feel at home and the people that work there know and are passionate about what they are selling. Support your local business’s and not national chain retailers for a change and come by 519 King Street next time you are interested in purchasing some music.
