Remodeled Danville Theater to House Record Store

Another building is renovated in downtown Danville, according to GoDanRiver.com.

The continued investment into downtown will help improve the local economy and home values.

"As one downtown building’s facelift nears completion, Downtown Records plans to relocate from Union Street to Main Street in November.

Sammy Saunders, the hobby owner of the used-record store, bought the old Broadway Theater in May with the idea of remodeling it into a usable space.

'I always had a desire to buy an old building, fix it up and make something out of it,' Saunders said.

The certified public accountant and senior partner at Harris, Harvey, Neal & Co. in Danville envisioned the new space — three times bigger than the Union Street store — could house the more than 100,000 long-playing (LP) records and the nearly 300,000 45-rpm records he collected since the 1960s."
