Town Square Records & Comics does not offer direct
consignment to indie artists, but they do stock records
from local artists who may want to sell directly to the
shop as a part of the Buy, Sell, Trade program.

7. - UPCOMING EVENT -
GALLATIN COMIC CON

8. RECORD STORE DAY EXCLUSIVE

9. Due to the tight quarters of the front counter and the
staff buying new albums, there was no SWAG on the
counter other than promotional postcards for the
store’s upcoming Comic Con event. There were also no
promo pieces for a music product or artist in the store.

10. This would be a good store to connect with for a local
artist’s album release because they occasionally host
artists (of all mediums of music and comic books) to do
signings in the shop. There is not a good setup to do any
live performances, but it’s a great location to leave
samplers and a few albums to sell to their audience.
