Vinyl Revival: Moe’s Record Shop Keeps Gainesville in the Groove

Vinyl records are back in style, and Moe Lyons, owner of Moe’s Record Shop on the Gainesville Square, is thrilled to lead the charge in Hall County.

Gainesville’s New Groove

From Basement to Boutique

Moe’s journey began in 1974 when he bought his first record—a Rufus album. Over the decades, he built a collection that would one day serve as the foundation of his dream record shop. After retiring from his city job in 2018, Moe opened his first store in Flowery Branch. But in 2020, an opportunity to move to the Gainesville Square arose, and he jumped at the chance.

“It's like night and day,” Moe said of the new location. Despite construction near the shop, customers keep coming, proving that vinyl's resurgence is stronger than ever.
