Young Ones has been a staple in the community for over 25 years & they are now on the verge of closing up shop. The building they are currently located in may be sold to a pizza shop (yes another pizza shop in a college town) which would force Young Ones to shut its doors.
Some of you may have shopped there before & I know I met a few of you while working Record Store Days. As a former employee & friend, I want to see this business stay in Kutztown.
This is not a case of mismanagement or poor revenue. Chris, the owner of the store, along with his family pour all of their time into keeping Young Ones afloat. Times get tough but they always rebound...this time may be a little more difficult.
So far we have garnered 2,700+ signatures on a petition to keep Young Ones in Kutztown but they could use your help. SPREAD THE WORD & HELP KEEP YOUNG ONES IN KUTZTOWN.
Below is a link to their GoFundMe page & if you can donate, any little bit will help. If you can't donate financially please help our cause by spreading the word.

If you are in a band & would like to play at the shop to raise some money, reach out. If you wanna say "hi", reach out. Chris & the entire Young Ones family will be forever grateful for whatever you can do.
Here is a link to their Facebook page of you want to reach out personally.
