Our New LocationThe Bop Shop now located at 1460 Monroe Ave, Rochester, New York 14618. We’re open Tuesday through Saturday from 11 am to 8 pm, and Sunday from 12 pm to 5 pm. (Map)
After lots of looking around various locations in the city including the South wedge and downtown we have settled on a storefront just into Brighton.
1460 Monroe Ave. is just a short walk from Cobbs Hill. I think it will be a fantastic
location for us.  View Larger Map |
The Bop Shop began selling records through the mail from the day we opened our doors 29 years ago. First selling through magazines such as Goldmine and Discoveries, we eventually started printing our own catalog of records for sale on a monthly basis. Sending out catalogs to hundreds of customers, we built up a loyal clientele that stayed with us when we made the switch to the internet. Since then we’ve sold thousands of records to satisfied customers all over the world. With our new, improved web site we’ll be able to expand our store even more.
The Bop Shop and Bop arts, Inc. has presented hundreds of national and international acts from some of the most talented musicians from the world of English Folk, Jazz, and Americana.
