Landlocked Music officially opened in a new location just off the downtown Bloomington Square on South Walnut Street Wednesday. Yarns Unlimited used to occupy the space.

It marks a big change for the record store, which was in its former location on North Walnut Street for a decade. That location closed Christmas Eve.

Store Co-Owner Jason Nickey says it felt like the right time for the business to expand.

"We have a lot of stuff, a lot of merchandise to get out, and there just wasn’t room for it in there," he says. "So it just seemed like the time to do it with the space being open."

Nickey says the owner of their former space on North Walnut is planning major renovations within the next few years. He says the store wanted to relocate before that process starts.

Nickey says they had access to their new building weeks prior to the move and formally transitioned to the space over the new year.

The record store plans to reintroduce live performances in-store.
