Music store Sound Records has announced that the business is up for sale.
Based on Wellington Street in Douglas, it is run by music lovers Jack Doyle and Ed Oldham.
Posting the news over the weekend, Jack said the announcement will “come as a surprise” to many people, who he thanked for making th business “such a special, meaningful part of my life”.
He said: “The community that supports Sound Records has a genuine place in my heart that will always be there.”
Burnt out
Jack added: “None of this would be possible without the people who walk through the doors and buy records, or guitar strings, clothes or have a coffee and chat.
“Running the shop has been an amazing journey, however, it has got to the point where I’m feeling a bit burnt out and the demands of retail and social media have taken a toll on my personal wellbeing.
“I truly believe that Sound Records can continue to thrive in the hands of someone new, and that excites me. I’m now looking forward to being on the other side of the counter and to continue supporting this great shop.”
Jack invited interested people to get in touch via hello@soundrecords.im or call in to the store.
