This past week, RichmondBizsense.com reported that Vinyl Conflict record store is moving out of 324 S. Pine St., where it first opened in 2008, and plans to reopen at 300 E. Grace St. in early June.
Owner Bobby Egger said he was driven to end the shop’s 14-year run on Pine Street by the need for a larger space in a more commercial-oriented part of town.

In a comment on the Oregon Hill Community FaceBook page, Egger said “To call it bittersweet to leave the building is an understatement.”
Certainly neighbors wish Vinyl Conflict more success and are glad that Egger and his wife continue to live in the Oregon Hill.

A previous article on RichmondBizsense.com reported that the owners of oddities shop Rest in Pieces, purchased that store’s location at 349 S. Laurel St.
Justin Torone and Alaina Gearhart paid $675,000 to buy the building from their landlord Nolen Blackwood in a deal that was recorded with the city in mid-March, according to online property records.
