Peaches Records

I found Peaches record store walking around Magazine st. We used to have Peaches stores in Seattle back when I was collecting records. It was nice to see this Retro Record shop in New Orleans. The bus stops are near by and the St. Charles St. Car is about 7-8 blks away walk. They have a Woolworth's Lunch Counter with the chairs in tact. But no Food Service. Ask the front desk if you can bring your own coffee in to sit there. The store had lots of CDs and Records on sale. They had small toys, T-shirts, and some artwork for sale. Ask if they have Live Music since there was a small stage in back of the store. You will need to check your backpack or large bags at the Door. Stop by and look around and it might bring back old memories back.

Terrible service, overpriced records, they make you check your bag at the front with no one watching them. She insisted she would watch them but when i came up there no one was around. When i went up to the register the older lady was so rude and mean when i didn't know i was supposed to ring the bell and shamed me, questioned me because i was only buying one record. I asked for a plastic sleeve for my record and she charged me $2 for one. Just order records online at Amazon and avoid this place.

I love this record store. Every time I visit I'm taken back to simpler times. I'm a very sentimental and love indulging in nostalgia and I love perusing the aisles looking at all of the amazing albums, cds and awesome and fun merch they have here. Shirani, the owner, also known as Momma Peaches is such a delight. She's so welcoming and loves music. I love chatting with her every time I visit. Today I bought an original Beatles album and a Frankie Beverly album, along with some cute Peaches merch. The price was just right even though this was a bit of an unplanned splurge.

I have great memories of my father bringing my brother and I (when we were quite young) to the Peaches in Fort Lauderdale to get one vinyl record each... I even had a couple of those infamous wood crates with the well-known Peaches insignia and I even remember the times changing over to cassettes. Playing music from the Eagles, Bob Marley, Culture Club, Meatloaf and KISS are embedded as part of my youth bonding with dad... and then we grew up and Peaches eventually bankrupted and the Fort Lauderdale location became a HUSTLER store.... Fast forward to today and during a walk along Magazine Street, we came across a Peaches Record store.... I was... "mind-blown". It took me a moment to understand if this was related or associated to the Peaches of the times past. Turns out it's the last store since the Peaches chain bankrupt; the last one. I love the glass store front decor and to be welcomed by some of the owners/staff upon entering. The exterior walls and some aisles are loaded with all sorts of tchotchkes... from funky candles spoofing religious candles to cool keychains, recipe books to tote bags, the famous wood crates, must cassettes, stickers... there's even a Dashboard Jesus (like a bobble head for your car dash). Once upon a time, they had a functioning diner counter; which now look vintage and cool but it's covered with inventory, paintings and music equipment. There's an immense selection of t-shirts.... some classics rock back shirts, some shirts of some popular album covers and some straight up funny stuff. Of course the highlight of the Peaches store is the aisles loaded with vinyl records in blue racks and red accented walls... the offerings are impressive but INSANELY over-priced. I completely understand a rare, hard-to-find record may be priced with a premium but all the records were priced beyond acceptable prices (even the ones easily available). I was able to find a couple records (online while at the store) that are available at Target (who have a very limited offering) and the price here was shockingly higher (some were a lot more than just a couple bucks). If you have money to burn, and you're a fan of vinyl records, then you'll love the "last" Peaches Record store. Unfortunately for me, I would've loved nothing more than to support a local shop and go back to Florida with some great vinyl but my wallet refused to splurge. Love this store (despite the three stars)...

We were walking by and decided to stop by. This was is huge. It's like the old school music stores that unfortunately don't exist. There are was a lot of great birthday cards,cd's, records, and a ton of gifts great for a birthday. The place was reasonably priced. You can listen to music with the head phones. If you grew up in the 90's this is a must stop.

We stopped here after reading that this was theist Peaches Records. I had never been to one, and there was one close to home growing up. My boyfriend talked about how much he loved the place growing up. So, I was excited for us to go there on our most recent trip. It was sort of a letdown, he wanted to get a shirt to take home, and was disappointed in the selection/quality. I had no idea what to expect, he hoped to see peach crates all around, there wasn't. I thought it was neat that it was an old Woolworth's Store with the luncheonette counter from the 40s. Too bad there was stuff (canvases) blocking the view. All in all, I guess it depends on whether or not you have a nostalgic connection to Peaches Records or not. I thought it was a nice store, with cool history, I was more excited to see the luncheonette counter. My boyfriend was disappointed, which was sad.

As soon as we walked in the store my wife was asked to put her bag by the store entrance clearly to cutdown on shoplifting. I get it. However, the bag was for earrings. Nothing you could even hide a cassette tape. Just an unfriendly and and very unaccommodating staff.

It's impossible for me to travel without searching out the local record store and Peaches was recommended to us by a local friend. It's based in an old Woolworths, that still has the old soda shop counter along the side. When you walk in, there are rows and rows of records and CD's stretching all the way to the back. It truly is a music lovers' dream...until you look at the prices. I'm always one to support an indie shop, but as a traveler, knowing it would be hard to transport records, and a collector, who knew they were charging $5-$10 or more over the realistic value, I didn't end up buying anything. If you're looking for something hard to find, and have the money to spend, this is an ideal place to check, but if you're buying a new record that you can find elsewhere, I might get it there. Overall review, cool shop but overpriced.

This is a great record store especially if you are looking for records, CDs, memorabilia, etc.. I understand that they have been in business since the mid-70's and this current location used to be an old Woolworth's store. In fact, the food/seating counter is still there ! They also had a few video games that you could jam out on. I was hoping that there were more records available in the used "digging" area as most of there stock focused on new and reissues. Overall a cool store with super retro vibes !

The lady at the register who calls herself "mama peaches" was extremely rude. Every time someone tried to walk out of the place without buying something she stopped checking people out to loudly shame them and try to get them to come back in and buy something. She would sit there and say to people "why are you leaving" and then grill them until they either ignored her and just left or stayed in the store. So unless you are 100% sure you are going to buy something don't walk into the place.The prices in this store are also insane. With shopping at a local place of course there has to be some mark up but some of the prices of normal reprints were 3x that what you would find at amazon or barnes and noble. They also were selling posters that came from 5 below for $20.Don't come here unless you want to waste your money and get bullied. I would give 0 stars if I could.
