Building a Record Store for Music Lovers
Presented by GROOVER
What does it take to build a record store in 2026? In this episode, Scott sits down with Clifton, founder of Sisyphus Record Works, an independent online record shop specializing in jazz, classical, international music, and releases from small, independent labels.
With plans to open a physical storefront, Clifton shares his approach to curating a unique catalog, building a loyal customer base, and navigating the challenging economics of vinyl retail. They discuss why major-label records are becoming increasingly difficult to sell, the importance of packaging and customer experience, and how Sisyphus has achieved an impressive 87% returning customer rate.
