Schoolkids Records opens second location in Durham

Over the years every Schoolkids Records throughout the Triangle gradually shut down except for the Raleigh store, which moved up and down Hillsborough Street over the years before landing at its current home in Mission Valley.

Now turning that trend around, Schoolkids owner Stephen Judge is opening a new location in Durham. Judge bought out the inventory of Offbeat Music, which closed this past weekend, and he soft opened the space a new Schoolkids location earlier this week, making the store's first sale on Wednesday. The store will remain at the old Offbeat location in Bright Leaf Square at 905 West Main Street for two months before moving into a different space in the square as its permanent location.
