1/2 It's a hump day birthday for us lot at Wax and Beans. We're 3 today!
We opened in June 2019 having no idea if there was an appetite in Bury for records and coffee. Over a thousand days later, who'd have thought we'd make it this far....
2021 big hitters at Wax and Beans...
11,246 coffees sold
1,012 full english breakfasts
741 bacon butties
206 halloumi baguettes
116 Oasis - Masterplan
75 Tim Burgess - The Listening Party books
61 Ist Ist - The Art of Lying Cobalt Blue
Infinite friends & good times had.
Amazing, we won Best in Class Retailer in the Bury Business Awards. Incredibly humbling, thank you to everyone that has supported us, just amazing. 🖤🤍🖤
We bought ourselves and an extra copy of
@jendixonmusic
's album on Friday night.
Jen kindly signed it, sp please retweet/repost this, and let's get Jens name onto loads of folks timeline. For everyone who shares, you're into the hat to win this LP 🔵🐔
1/2 Another stacked day. We're sending more and more parcels and completing more doorstep deliveries than ever before.
Running and working in a record store is the best job ever and the fact that we're incredibly well supported makes it a dream job. We opened only 18 months...
Today was a hit! We had an unexpected visit from Mike Peters of The Alarm fame. Now we've not met many famous musicians as we're new to the scene but by heck, I doubt there are many folk as genuine, friendly and passionate about indie record stores as Mike, what a great fella ❤
We've been shortlisted as an indie biz to receive a grant via a Fed Ex competition. As far as we know, we're the only record store so we'd love to get your vote! Multiple entries allowed between now and December 15th x
Please share n stuff ❤

A friend paid us a visit today, bought a £20 Wax and Beans gift card and asked us to give it away! A glorious random act of musical kindness. Comment what you might buy if you won and for everyone who partakes between now and this Fri evening, we'll pick one winner 🖤🤍🖤
Today we celebrate our first birthday. We could say that it's been a roller coaster 12 months but there has been no lows, only highs! The support, the friendship, the music that we've discovered, the cute doggies that have visited us - all amazing. Thank you, thank you, thank you
It's official, at 10pm this evening, our queue started. Mark has arrived just as we're leaving for the evening. He's prepared, he has a pillow and sleeping bag. We made him a coffee before we left. See you in a few hours buddy, we'll be back at 6am to hand out lists.

1/2 We're absolutely mental busy at the moment, here are the boxes from the last 6 days of deliveries. You guys are monumental in your support, thanks a squillion. Nothing better than making the choice, sliding the record out of the sleeve and lovingly placing it on your platter.
Best wishes to all our fellow indie stores and retailers for tomorrow's reopening, lots of cool things to look forward to. Enjoy getting out there for a dig, we'll be doing the same soon. You can't beat a bit of retail therapy, especially if it's record shopping!!

We're very proud to be sponsoring the North West Ambulance footy team for the 20/21 season. Footy is great for fitness, mental health, teamwork, focus and passion. We love it all - good luck guys. You're all doing an amazing job, not just in 2020 but especially in 2020. ❤💙🏥🚑
2/2 ..ago and had no idea how it would pan out - would anyone even walk through the door? Fast forward 18 short months, thousands of records sold, a space to enjoy coffee and food and thousands of friends made.
Thanks so much, from all of the team. 🙏
Huge thanks to
@GlenMatlock
for being an absolute gent, singing, signing, chatting, and pretty much giving us all his entire night last night.
Thanks all for supporting these intimate events at Beansies. The calibre of artist hitting our little space continues to blow our minds!
One blurred pic is all that we took.
We're not sure if we've ever seen Manchester Apollo so packed, EVER.
Kudos to
@LotteryWinners
- stellar show.
Magnifico 🖤🤍🖤
1/4 This time next week the tables will be back in, upstairs will be open and so will the kitchen. We'll be open 7 days a week, longer hours and our full food service re-commences. The racks will continue to be loaded up with records, the latte glasses and cappuccino cups..
Happy birthday to the boss lady.
We don't often see her in the shop, but when we do, her energy and smile are an inspiration. She's often found upstairs being the super glue that holds all the stuff you don't see, together.
🖤🤍🖤
