True Vine Record Shop is moving to a N. Charles Street space in Station North following the last day of business at its Hampden location.
The move comes after a dispute with the nearby Golden West Cafe. The restaurant bought the lease to True Vine’s Hickory Avenue building with an eye toward helping the financially struggling record store by combining ventures, but the parties could not agree on a vision for the concept and the agreement fell apart.
With True Vine in need of a new home, Golden West offered to cover the last two months of the record store’s rent, buy plastic bins for the records and provide storage space, proprietor Samantha Claassen wrote in an email last week.
True Vine has to be out by Feb. 1, owner Jason Willett said. He and volunteers are working to move everything to a building in Station North while the store’s new home at 1827 N. Charles St. is cleared out.
