Found this sister store from the one in Nashville Tn. This Great Escape is awesome!! Super friendly staff, unbelievable collection or vinyls, tapes and CD’s. Spectacular section of back issues and new and current comics!!! A must when in town!’

★★★★★ Arthur, Jun 2021

Awesome store. Huge selection of CDs and Vinyl among tons of other stuff like posters, dice, and assorted nerd stuff. I've found some gems here, but the pricing is VERY fair. Highly reccomend.

★★★★★ Mel, Nov 2023

Amazing store with so much to offer! The atmosphere was amazing, really feels like a little nook hidden from the world with tons of treasure. Lots of comics, trade paper backs and graphic novels, also some books and lots of music. Really great selection and deals!
