Waterloo Records owner says employees a priority, allowing them to 'buy in'

AUSTIN (KXAN) — Situated at the corner of 6th Street and Lamar stands one of Austin's most iconic music and movie shops, but soon it will be gone.

Following a 2019 property purchase by Endeavor Real Estate Group, the business faced closure or relocation. Now, Waterloo Records will relocate to 1105 N. Lamar Blvd. in the springtime, according to a Thursday release.

"It is a very quintessential Austin place," said Carter Spillyards who has been shopping at Waterloo for the last decade.
