AMOEBA: Iconic Record Store Grand Re-Opening in New Location Tomorrow
Calling Amoeba Music a record store is an understatement. The 90s boutique chain with locations in north and south California was a Mecca for music/film/memorabilia collectors.
Miraculously, they survived the diminishing popularity of vinyl, cassettes, CDs, and DVD/Blu-rays, becoming a bastion of hope for physical media fans.
The Hollywood location on Sunset Blvd. was an especially hopping location, often hosting live events and counting celebrities as regular customers.
This made the location’s 2020 closure especially disheartening. And when COVID-19 pushed people indoors (and retailers to the brink of bankruptcy) Amoeba’s future seemed uncertain.

But out of the ashes, a Pheonix is rising. Tomorrow, April 1st, 2021, mark’s Amoeba’s grand reopening at a new location: 6200 Hollywood Blvd! DoLA reports:
Opening day will include a special design created by L.A. artist Ivan Minsloff. Customers will get a limited edition poster as a gift with purchase and there will be live t-shirt silk-screening with our friends Family Industries in the courtyard of the El Centro complex from 11:30am until 4pm.
T-shirts are $10 while supplies last.
Their report continues:
Amoeba Music’s new home is a huge, light-filled, ground-level space in the center of Hollywood. It’s a diverse and vibrant neighborhood that boasts historic and iconic venues like The Fonda Theatre and Pantages Theatre, as well as excellent eateries, hotels, retail and nightlife spots. The new space features validated parking in the El Centro parking structure.
