Slide Record Shop to close Bedford store in "next few weeks"
Popular vinyl store Slide is shutting up shop.
In a post on social media and on its website, the shop – founded by Warren Alsop and Nerys Bannister – said it would honour all orders.
The post read: “We’ll be open for the next few weeks so pop in, use your vouchers and grab a bargain from our closing down sale.”
Slide Record Shop opened in The Arcade back in September 2017 and was Bedford’s first dedicated record shop in quite some time.
The post continued: “Thank you to everyone who has become part of the Slide family. When we made Bedford our home and opened Slide, we had no idea that we were not just starting a business; we were joining a community.
"Over the coming weeks we will be selling our records in the shop at reduced prices. All orders will be honoured; but if you want to change anything just let us know and we will sort it for you. If you have a gift voucher, please come and use it as soon as possible, or exchange it for a record token.
“We are not going anywhere, so we look forward to seeing you in Bedford town… at lots more Esquires gigs, RYOR events, Remedy parties and more. Warren will be returning to his record shopping & crate-digging roots and will undoubtedly be sharing his vinyl adventures with you all; so do not unfollow us just yet!”
