In Wheeling, West Virginia, Nail City Record will open at 10 a.m. on April 18 but is already expecting fans to line up long before doors open. (The Intelligencer’s April 11 neighborhood preview said the shop will open at 10 a.m. and described the typical early‑line culture.) (theintelligencer.net)
Nail City Record in downtown Wheeling plans to open at 10 a.m. on Saturday, April 18, for Record Store Day, with customers expected to line up well before doors open. (theintelligencer.net) The shop is at 40 12th Street, Suite 300, in the McLain Building, and Visit Wheeling lists the April 18 event as a one-day Record Store Day celebration with exclusive releases and storewide sales. (wheelingcvb.com) Record Store Day is the annual promotion built around limited-run titles sold through independent stores, and the official 2026 list says this year’s releases arrive at participating shops on April 18. (recordstoreday.com) That release model helps explain the early line. The Intelligencer said past years at Nail City Record have brought fans to the sidewalk before opening time, and a 2025 report by WTRF said the first person in line the year before arrived at 11 p.m. the night before. (theintelligencer.net) (wtrf.com) Nail City Record is one of the area’s few dedicated indie record shops, and its own website says it sells new and used vinyl, turntables, compact discs, cassettes, care supplies, memorabilia, posters, and books. (nailcityrecord.com) Record Store Day’s store locator also lists Nail City Record as a participating West Virginia shop and says the store buys, sells, and trades records, cassettes, and compact discs while hosting local and touring musicians. (recordstoreday.com) Local event listings tied to the store’s April 18 plans say Nail City Record ordered heavily on sought-after 2026 titles and expects demand for releases by artists including Taylor Swift, Robert Plant, George Harrison, Tyler Childers, Olivia Dean, and Paramore. (weelunk.com) For shoppers in Wheeling, the practical detail is simple: the sale starts at 10 a.m. on April 18, but the line may start hours earlier. (theintelligencer.net)
