Today we’d like to introduce you to Pete Gulyas.
Pete, it’s a pleasure to have you here. Your journey from [Pete’s hometown] to the heart of the music industry is truly inspiring. Please share with our readers how you navigated this path and reached where you are today.
Blue Arrow Records (16001 Waterloo Road, Cleveland, Ohio) opened in March of 2009 and is primarily known as a vintage records shop. We specialize in used records from the 50s through today. “When we first opened, we had mostly grey hairs and almost all dudes coming in,” says Gulyas. “Then vinyl took off, and now we have a lot of younger people and women.”
Let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall, and if not, what challenges have you had to overcome?
We have seen a steady increase in people of all ages looking to purchase vinyl records. We have also seen a rise in other record shops opening up in Northeast Ohio.
Let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know?
