Hunky Dory is leaving its Seaboard Station store for a new Raleigh location.
The record store/bar hopes to open at Raleigh Iron Works this fall, hopefully before Record Store Day Black Friday in November, owner Michael Bell told The News & Observer.
“The vibe is awesome,” Bell said. “There’s life on the weekend. The place is packed. Very friendly neighbors. I couldn’t dream of a better spot for what I’m trying to do.”
The lease for its downtown Raleigh location is up in October, Bell said. He has previously told The N&O about issues with Seaboard Station, where construction, blocked streets and a lack of parking has made it difficult for some businesses to survive.
