Terri Ainger, Green Tangerine Records partner, has been plugging in lights and sorting through records throughout the week as she prepares for the business to open a second store Friday.

Green Tangerine Records will open its second location Friday at 140 S. Second St. Until April, the record store, 1150 S. Fourth St., used to be a full-time restaurant called Busters that sold classic rock records in a corner of the room.

The store’s collection expanded so much the owners decided to shut down the restaurant, function as a record and vintage store and open a location closer to campus.

“It’s going to be more quaint and [have] more character,” Ainger said. “It’s definitely closer to downtown, so we’re hoping the traffic from downtown helps.”

The store’s items range from DVDs, vinyl records and arcade machines to beer tap handles and neon signs.

Though its Fourth Street parent store is larger, the new location will have space for neon signs and other collectibles.

“The new one’s a much smaller building, but … the ceilings are so tall and the walls are so tall,” Ainger said. “It’s got a lot more room than we gave it credit for.”

Bill Klippel, Green Tangerine Records partner, said he is constantly on the road looking for items to add to the store’s collection.

“You never know what’s gonna come through the door,” Klippel said. “And when we go on the road, we never know what we’re gonna come back with.”

Klippel said after an item has been in the store for 45 days he trades it to get something new.

The second record store is located near Feed’em Soup, 122 S. First St. Derek Gibbs, Feed’em Soup executive director, is excited about his neighbors.

“It’s just cool to have another business downtown that’s different,” Gibbs said. “It’s cool that there’s a business that focuses on records, that’s being successful and growing and … getting the kids into vinyl and music … .”
