Now, the shop is upgrading its physical footprint following record-breaking sales in 2025, buoyed by high profile gigs across Edinburgh, including Chappell Roan, AC/DC and Oasis.

Kevin Buckle, the owner of Avalanche Records, said: “This move marks a huge moment for us and Waverley Market, as we move into the biggest space the centre has available. Our continued growth shows there is still very much a love for physical music, as music lovers look to find new talent as well as listen to their favourite stars.
“We can’t wait for everyone to see the new space and, moving forward, we intend to work even more closely with our fellow tenants such as Rainbow Bubble Tea and The Cheery Churro who are particularly popular with our younger customers.”
The new shop, which is located above Waverley Station near Princes Street, will increase the space dedicated to stocking vinyl, CDs and posters by 50%.
Buckle added: “The extra floor space means we can now stock more merchandise, for example we can now carry a full selection of the much sought after punk teddy bears lovingly made by the Fife artist Marie Allan and a popular present for those Christmas shopping.”

“Avalanche Records is a phenomenal retail offer, founded on knowledge and experience, which is unique not only to Waverley Market but more importantly to the wider Edinburgh retail landscape”.
