County Line Records is relocating from its current Old Town Keller location to a new spot just up US 377 off N. Main Street. A soft opening is scheduled for Feb. 20, while a grand opening will be held March 1.

The backstory

Holder posted on Facebook Jan. 8 the new location will be bigger and have “new things to come for our customers.”

The store, which sells new and used records, T-shirts, posters and other music accessories, moved to Keller from Decatur in June 2023.

“We needed a larger footprint than what we had in Decatur,” Owner Rodney Holder said.


Upon the urging of a friend who had a business in Keller, Holder and his family drove around to check things out. They stumbled upon their new location by accident—Holder took a wrong turn when he was driving around Old Town Keller—but he said it turned out to be the perfect location.

“We decided to come where there’s a lot more folks and offer the same great service and kind of down home vibe we had [in Decatur] here in Keller,” Holder said.

Holder began County Line Records after purchasing a collection of 15,000 records at an estate sale. After putting a notice about the collection on social media, a Fort Worth collector contacted him and ended up buying a couple thousand records.

Quote of note


“People want to come through and dig to find the treasures—maybe it’s [an album] that they’ve been hunting for years—or find something that connects them to their childhood,” Holder said. “We provide that experience in a family atmosphere. Grandparents can come in with their 14-year old-grandchild and they all can find something, so it really does connect everybody.”
