Century Tattoo of downtown Ashland will soon be the home of a new record shop, King Theodore Records. The two businesses plan to share a space to draw in more customers and expose them to their respective artforms.
King Theodore Records plans to open its doors on June 12, National Record Store Day. The shop is located at 100 E. Broadway in Ashland inside of Century Tattoo.
Opening his own record shop has been a lifelong dream of owner Jesse Slade, who has been in the record-selling industry for over six years. He has been hooked on buying and selling vinyl records since purchasing a Michael Jackson record at age 13.
