Indie Media Retailer Bull Moose will open a store in Plaistow, N.H., in June, with the new location likely hosting performances by local musicians and poetry readings.
With staff moving 10 miles from a Salem, N.H., shop closing May 18, President Shawn Nichols told WHAV, employees “collectively selected” the 34 Plaistow Road location, according to a press release. The retailer mostly carries records, CDs—including on consignment from local artists—books and games.
During the pandemic, Nichols told WHAV they stopped hosting performances by local artists, but have started to get back into public events recently. “The thought around the space in Plaistow will be that it could be used for someone with an acoustic guitar, or a table for role playing games, or for a poetry recital.”
He added, “[In] the last year or so, we’ve started to really get back into it, but it’s rebuilding that old muscle memory. It’s, ‘How did we do that? Where did we get the audio equipment?”’
Founded in 1989, the employee-owned company operates 11 stores across Maine and New Hampshire.
