The retail space—which opened its doors on Feb. 6—is the first for the business that began in owner Angela Sawyer’s bedroom in 2006. Primarily an online store until now, Weirdo sells new and used music, DVDs, books, and magazines. “I would like Weirdo to be a home for people who like weird stuff, who have eclectic taste and are curious about new sounds,” Sawyer said.
