RICHMOND, Va. — Andrew Griimoiire is expanding his footprint in Richmond's Scott's Addition neighborhood with two new locations: a larger Wax Moon Records and a brand new Eclipse Arcade.
The new Wax Moon Records is at 3007 W. Clay St. Similar to the original location, the new larger space is filled with vinyl, vintage media, and collectibles including some formats shoppers may not recognize.
"Many people go their whole life without knowing what a laser disc looks like," Griimoiire said. "It's like a giant CD."
Just down the street, Eclipse Arcade at 1310 Altamont Ave. is packed with pinball machines and video games.
The pinball lineup includes several notable machines.
"This is considered the most successful pinball game ever released. Adams' Family is the highest selling machine of all time, so a very iconic pinball game," Griimoiire said.
Other machines on the floor include Tales from the Crypt, Venom, and a fully modified Pokémon pinball machine.
Griimoiire said the mission behind both businesses goes beyond retail.
"Life can't all be about your responsibilities and all the mess that the world can be at times," Griimoiire said. "It should be an indulgence of the things that you enjoy and sharing with people you love and making new friends."
"We're really here to just engage the community and provide a space for people to experience what they enjoy," Griimoiire said.
