Help Us Raise Money To Save The Historic Woolworth's Counter

We are Peaches Records; a family owned and operated record shop based in New Orleans. After 40 years of ups and downs in the record business we finally have bought our own space! We are currently in the process of moving into the historic old Woolworth's building, fifteen-thousand square feet of pure music heaven in the heart of Uptown New Orleans.

Our future home, 4318 Magazine St. New Orleans, LA 70115 

Part of the wonderful space we've acquired is an authentic 1940's Woolworth’s Diner Counter. Unfortunately, the diner counter was not included with the purchase of the space, and the original owner wants $75,000 in addition for the diner portion and our friends in the restaurant business said it would be a MINIMUM of $25,000 extra to make it operational. We have begun this campaign in order to reach out to the community of New Orleans and beyond to ask for help in not only preserving but putting this historic diner counter back into service!

 

Peaches has been pivotal in helping launch the careers of local musicians for more than four decades... Our dream is to have a stage where local musicians will be able to perform and create a vibrant community of music lovers that all gather in one place to share their culture, art, and heritage. We feel that the Woolworth counter is an important historic staple and it's essential for bringing the community together in our space. Food is at the heart of our city right there along with the incredible music it produces.

 

Why it’s important to the community: 

Many people in the city and in the country remember growing up going to Woolworth. So many customers have told us stories of being young with their parents going out to the old Woolworth luncheonette! We feel that it would be a crime to tear out this historic counter. We’ve tried to buy it from the owner but after buying the building we don’t have the resources to commit to buying the counter along with it. We want to support the community and bring people together with music, food, and culture.
