HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (TENNESSEE VALLEY LIVING) - Initially, it started off as a record store. Since its opening, All the Best has become a popular destination for music lovers to grab a new record and sip on some coffee. Owners Kristy Bevis and Ben Tanner were fond of the spot and decided to revamp it into a modern corner store.
All the Best is located at 128 E Tennessee St. on the corner of Tennessee Street and Seminary Street in downtown Florence, AL.

The goal was to fill a few different needs in the downtown Florence area. The University of North Alabama campus is conveniently located just a few blocks away from a store that offers everything a college student might need. From quick and simple coffee to snacks and notebooks, they have it all. Additionally, they also have a small collection of records available in-store.

“We try to have a good mix of used and new records... and have a variety of price points,” said Ben.
For those on a budget or just starting their vinyl collection, there are plenty of affordable options available. Seasoned collectors can also enjoy rare records and shop-specific vinyls.
All the Best removes the filler by knowing what their community wants.

If a customer is looking for something specific but can’t find it in-store, they can scan the QR code in the store to make record requests.
“The community has been super receptive, so in addition to just having retail, we do a lot of community events... and host various pop-ups from other small business owners,” said Kristy. “We’ve really just turned it into a gathering spot for people who share the same passion for their craft as we do.”
