The Record Centre

This week, Al visits  John Thompson, owner of The Record Centre in Ottawa, Ontario. John traded the grueling heat of a paper mill for the warm crackle of vinyl.In 2011, John bought The Record Centre from a friend—starting with just six bins of records in the back of a video store. He has turned it into a thriving destination that's part record store, part vintage audio showroom, part concert venue, and part record label.  This is John’s story.You can learn more about The Record Centre at TheRecordCentre.com.  Subscribe now!If you're the owner of a small business in Canada and you'd like us to help tell your story, email us at [email protected], We Are Open is a Moneris podcast production hosted by Al Grego.
