MARQUETTE, Mich. (WZMQ) – The Emporium on South Third Street is part record shop, part boutique, and part pop culture museum. The brainchild of music aficionado and pop culture expert John Teichman, the Emporium is not just a music shop, but a repository of memories,
“There’s really something for everybody. Certainly, we have a lot of new and used, gently used, vinyl records, CDs, cassette tapes, VHS, DVDs, T-shirts, stickers, jewelry, original art, books, and a little bit of everything,” said Teichman.
Teichman describes the items available at the Emporium as artifacts, pieces of Americana, and a conduit to a specific time in our lives.
“The unifying theme is really that we want everybody who walks through the door to connect with something that they find, something that they see,” explained Teichman.
Having been on Washington Street previously, John chose his new location carefully, wanting to be a part of the community that is uniquely Third Street.
“There’s something really special about being on Third Street and being close to campus, being, you know, in a great mix of restaurants, other shops all around us. This is a lot different than going online and looking at things. It’s an interactive, tactile community experience. And the whole community is invited to come check us out,” said Teichman.
The Emporium is located at 816, North Third Street in Marquette. For more information and hours of operation, please visit The Emporium’s website, https://mqtemp.com/
