Here's a list of Montreal record stores that will deliver to your door

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has taken its toll on countless businesses. Local independent record stores are some of the hardest hit, relying heavily on foot traffic and special in-store events, like the now postponed Record Store Day, to make ends meet.

While some Montreal record stores already offered online ordering others pivoted quite quickly to build an online presence.

Below is a list of the independent record stores in the Montreal area offering online sales and local delivery.

Note: As directed by the Quebec government, these brick and mortar locations are all closed. Please consider supporting your local independent record store by placing an online order.
