Reviews of Marv's Record Shop
"The best and one of very few *all new* record shops in Des Moines!"
"Asked to see if he can check if he had a record for me. He said I’m kinda busy. Asked if I can call later so he can check. Rep told me “nah man I’m not gunna look for you. Come in if you want to see” Horrible customer service. I was looking to buy multiple Pink Floyd records. Price wasn’t an issue. Was not looking to drive 30 minutes to check in store inventory when all he had to do was check his system. I do not like giving bad feedback. I value all good local businesses. This was a horrible first impression and the owner should be informed about his horrible rep. He’s definitely pushing away business."
"Nice little record store in a great location in the middle of East Village. Usually have some nice records playing and the employees are always very welcoming and willing to listen to and answer questions. I wish their entire inventory was viewable online but I'm very aware that it's a huge undertaking that would require constant updating."
"The Marv’s Record Shop visit was one of the few highlights of our three-day trip to Des Moines - partly thanks to the super friendly and helpful employee who chatted with us for almost an hour and whose name I wish I hadn’t forgotten, and partly simply because the record store was actually open. As it turns out, almost everything worth visiting in Des Moines is closed on Sundays and Mondays. This shop is open every day from 11 to 7. I’ve been to the Omaha version a couple of times as well, they are both great, but the Des Moines one would actually be my favorite if I had to pick just one, despite it being slightly smaller. The prices are great and the staff make you feel genuinely welcome, answering any and all questions. 100% recommend."
"We originally wanted to stop by this local record shop cause they sometimes have a dog. No dog today, but we still had a great time. The records are well organized and even had separate sections for new releases and the upcoming Hinterland festival (which is awesome). The employee was very friendly and great to talk about music with. We will definitely be back and will check out their sister shop too."
