Kenny’s Vinyl Vault to open vegan café in Abertillery

Owned by Jo and Kenny Kendrick, Kenny’s Vinyl Vault, is nothing short of a success story with the business expanding from 15 High Street to 21 Church Street.

The new shop will see the addition of a vegan café alongside thousands of new and pre - loved vinyl records, CDs, cassettes, music DVDs and Blu Rays.

Mrs Kendrick will also continue her tarot readings where guests can also buy beautiful, responsibly sourced crystals and jewellery.

In a true family affair, the couple’s three children Pippa, Carriad Kendrick and Tobey Kendrick are involved in the business.

Mr Kendrick said: “The business will continue to be a vinyl shop and there will be a lot more music-based things in store such as record signings. Whilst Jo will continue to focus on the tarot readings and crystals.

“We have built up a good following and are really excited about the addition of the café.

“We have always wanted a coffee shop and had to quickly learn how to be baristas.  

“To start with we will be selling coffee and cakes and are looking at selling a range of healthy foods in the future such as healthy sandwiches. There will be no fried stuff.

“The menu will be entirely vegan; we have been vegan for 10 years and hopefully people will support us.”

Currently on the bakery menu guests can choose from a range of mouth watering muffins, cake slices and flapjacks.

Kenny’s Vinyl Vaults will be open 9am-5pm Tuesday to Friday and 9am-2pm on Saturdays.
