A New Chapter for Nail City Record

After 8 years on the 3rd floor of the McLain Building, Nail City Record is preparing to move to a new storefront.

While we are only moving a few blocks away, the new location represents a major step forward for the store. The street-level storefront, large display windows, and prominent downtown location will help us reach new customers while continuing to serve our regulars who have supported us over the years.

We have been fortunate to be part of the growth and revival of Downtown Wheeling’s music scene in recent years, and we are excited to continue contributing to that momentum from our new location.

Built in 1855, the historic downtown Wheeling building has undergone extensive restoration in recent years under the stewardship of CJ Kaiser and will soon house Nail City Record.

Our final day at the McLain Building will be June 27. We expect to reopen in our new location mid-July.

This page will be updated throughout the transition with important dates, updates, and reopening information.

Our New Home

1001 Main Street, Wheeling, WV

The new storefront is located right next door to the Capitol Theatre and a few steps away from the historic Wheeling suspension bridge, placing us in one of downtown Wheeling's most active and visible areas.
