I didn't really have any expectations and decided to just check it out but ended up very surprised. First off, the service here is top notch. Since we walked in to when we left, the people here are the prime example of customer service. Great job guys! There are a ton of new and used puzzles, board games, records, etc here. The prices are in between a thrift store and places that only sell new stuff if that makes sense? Especially if you're looking for board games, you would really enjoy this place. There were so many here that I have never heard of before. I got a used puzzles here for $7! I look forward to coming back here and browsing around!

Luckily the employees, a super friendly bunch, knew where to look or whom to ask where to look or knew the answer right away. They are there to help and is reflected in their attitude! I would say it is chaos in there and there doesn't seem to be a method to the madness but it is VERY worth your time to wander EVERYWHERE in the store. There are gems around you didn't even know you were looking for. I will be back!

It turned out to be a real gem of a store that I completely enjoyed walking through. They had lots of old box sets of dvds, old vinyl albums and cds. They had hoodies and t shirts as well as cute socks. I bought myself a pair of AC/DC socks that were adorable. The staff was primarily high school aged kids and they were all quite pleasant to me. It's the kind of place I would have enjoyed work on g when I was sixteen. I read some other reviews on this location that involved being duped into buying magazine subscriptions at check out. That did not happen to me. No such conversation came up and my check out process was fast and easy. I will shop there again next time I'm in the Colorado Mills Mall.

Great concept and I'm certain I'll be grabbing many more books in the future.

Although I wish they'd rename the outdated "women's interest" area to "fashion" or similar. The coffee shop has its pros and cons. I enjoy sitting down to peruse a magazine over a coffee. The coffee quality and service leaves a little to be desired though. I was excited, however, to finally see they offer a gluten friendly cookie - after all of these years! I was mystified as to why they have them smack bang in the middle of the display cabinet, right next to all of the gluten-containing bakery items. These need to be kept separate so there's no cross contamination.

Initially I bought a new stylus off amazon because I thought that was the problem (it was) but amazon didn't specify what stylus i was buying so when it came to my door it wouldn't fit at all and i broke the original. So when I took it in the team there hooked me up and got me right, explained to me that i probably bought some cartridge and stylus that would make my music sound like crap they got me set up with a pretty good stylus and carriage and installed it for me and tested to make sure it worked, quick and easy too. These guys are awesome and screw amazon, listening to records is an art that should be listened to with the right equipment not some cheap amazon baloney. Come check this place out it's pretty cool and they will make sure you have a good listening experience from your turntable.

Not as large as the other three locations. A nice addition to north Denver/highlands/north side or…read morewhatever you want to call the area. Used and new records. Cassettes, cds, and turntables are also for sale. Cleaning cartridges for your turntable as well as the usual assorted audiophile offerings. Gift cards, pint glasses, lighters. Lots of fun tiny gifts or random stocking stuffers around the holidays or a music lovers birthday. I walked in on a whim and was acknowledged. Not necessarily a hearty welcome but the music being played was amazing. Looked through all the genres, record store day releases, singles, LPs and double LPs. A far selection for anyone musically. Again not as diverse as their original location but that is to be expected for a shop of this size. Grabbed a handful of records since I had a birthday gift card "burning a hole" in my electronic pocket. I had purchased from their original location as well as popups on Tennyson and have always been happy with the music selections. You could grab something off Amazon or Discogs but this is a great larger local mom and pop. Real music lovers of the physical format and not just employees running out the clock at Sam Goody. (Does that date me?) Would certainly stop back when in the area to see what is new. This location isn't super old so I know it will be filled out more in future. You certainly can't go wrong for the selection to grab a nice gift for that special someone or even to treat yourself.

Flippant, Dishonest, and Deeply Disrespectful Buying Experience and the records are overpriced…read more I have shopped here in the past and based on the high prices of the used records, I assumed my used records would sell at fair market value here but this was not the case. I brought in a curated stack of clean, high‑demand records and was met with one of the most disrespectful experiences I have ever had. The buyer behind the counter was openly flippant, dismissive, and acted like I had no idea what I was bringing in. His attitude alone set the tone -- rushed, condescending, and completely uninterested in treating me with respect. I think it takes longer than five minutes to look at the quality and condition of 30 records. He opened with a lowball offer that did not match the titles, rarity or the condition, and when I questioned it, he said "records not selling" while we are standing in a store literally packed with people buying vinyl. It was insulting, and it was clearly meant to make me feel like I should be grateful for whatever lowball number he threw out. The moment I pushed back and asked for my records back, his offer suddenly jumped up but still well under a fair trade. That tells you everything about their honesty and ethics. It was not about fair value -- it was about seeing what they could get away with - how low they could lowball. To top it off, they paid with a check instead of cash, which made the whole thing feel even more disrespectful, inconvenient, and dismissive. In hindsight, I wish I had taken my records back but I was so disoriented by the disrespect and clerk behavior. And it made me realize why I never sell or trade records. If you care about being treated with basic respect or honesty, take your business somewhere else. I will never buy anything from this disreputable unethical establishment. And you should not either. This is not a mom and pop business but a business operating without integrity exploiting its customers.

What a cool place to explore! 11000 square feet of it! First time here. The amount of vinyl…read morerecords they have at Twist & Shout is impressive. Along with CDs, DVDs, and merchandise. The staff is friendly and helpful to answer all of my questions. I reflected on all the cool vinyl albums that I've had in past and at Twist & Shout you can relive them & purchase them. Their selection is so vast that I believe you would find what you are looking for. I came to see if they wanted any of my old CDs. They did take some of them and I received store credit! Free parking is available in the back. Go check it out, you won't be disappointed! Who knew that they have been around since 1988 and it all began with 2 English teachers purchasing the store at an auction. Oh and check out the food trucks across the street on Saturday's before 1 pm!
