Why it is worth visiting

Shantinique makes space for Detroit music alongside sportswear, shoes and the rest of its neighbourhood retail business. The music catalogue has a dedicated Motor City section, so the shop earns its place on a record route for more than an old sign over the door. It is a particularly relevant lead for someone following local rap or looking for music on CD as well as vinyl. The mix of merchandise is part of the store’s identity. Expect a working music-and-clothing shop, and direct questions about a specific release to the music counter before making the east-side trip.

What you will find

CDs, vinyl and a dedicated Detroit music department, plus apparel and footwear. Use the official catalogue to distinguish a music release from the shop’s other merchandise.

Genre strengths: Hip-Hop, Soul, Local

Getting there

The current official address is 8933 Harper Avenue on Detroit’s East Side. Older references to a different Harper address should not drive your directions. This is a separate stop from the downtown and Midtown shops.

Local tips
