Walnut Creek, CA – Popular record store “Up The Creek” is set to relocate to a much larger space on Mt. Diablo Blvd., next to Ace Hardware. The move, scheduled for mid-August, will take the store just a little further “up the creek” from its current location on Tice Valley Blvd.

The new space, formerly occupied by Terra Outdoor Furniture, will allow “Up The Creek” to significantly expand its offerings. The store plans to increase both its new and used record inventory, with a special focus on jazz records. Beyond just selling music, the shop aims to become a community hub for music, art, and creativity.
Owner and founder Nic expressed enthusiasm about the move, highlighting plans to add tables and chairs for customers to relax and enjoy snacks and drinks. The new location will also feature an all-ages music venue for live performances, community events, classes, and even band practice space.
The store’s motto, “Fingentes Dum Progredimur” or “Figuring it out as we go,” reflects the owner’s excitement for the new possibilities the larger space will bring. The new location even boasts an outdoor patio, opening up potential for movie nights, food trucks, and more.
The new chapter at “Up The Creek” promises to bring even more opportunities for the Walnut Creek community to connect through music and the arts.
