Jackpot Records
Portland, Oregon
Founded in 1997, Jackpot Records has been supplying the PDX area with fresh music for over 15 years. While both locations, one downtown and one on Hawthorne, offer a great selection, the former stands out in particular for its comfortable, roomy interior — something that's not exactly common with record shops. No matter which you visit, you'll find tons of vinyl, as well as CDs, books, and other fine media, and should you need more reasons to feel good than just buying from a local, independent shop, also know that it hosts free in-store performances, signings, meet-and-greets, and an annual film festival focused on music-related fare.
