Amid a fund drive aimed at weathering rough months of closure ahead, Amoeba Music has made a tough call. The beloved store’s current location in Hollywood will not re-open to the public, rega…
There have been other celebrity supporters: Author and artist Dave Eggers briefly made an offer of original drawings to anyone who provided proof of a $200 or higher donation to Amoeba, though it was taken down after he was swarmed with takers.
Amoeba said that its management realizes record stores are not only not going to be considered “essential” as governors consider lifting restrictions, but that its high customer traffic volume would probably keep it from qualifying as part of a “low-risk” tier, either. Additionally, the statement points out, “we have to move in the fall and there are timelines and tasks involved in making that happen that were set into motion long before COVID-19. If we don’t focus on getting the new store ready for the fall opening, the hard reality is we may never open again anywhere. … The only way we can keep Amoeba Hollywood alive in the long run is to make this difficult decision now.
