(MENAFN- Khaleej Times) Rocker Jack White has opened a Third Man Records store in his hometown, the Motor City. The Grammy-nominated White was on hand Friday for the satellite location's grand opening just north of downtown Detroit.
Hundreds flocked to the store, which next year plans to launch a vinyl record pressing plant.
The shop opened with vinyl reissues from Tamla Records, including releases by Marvin Gaye, the Supremes and Miracles.
White founded Third Man in Detroit in 2001. He left Detroit for Nashville, Tennessee, where Third Man is based.
"Everything in this neighborhood seems to me like the perfect place for the renaissance and the rebirth and the regrowth from the ashes that Detroit is going to rise from," White said.
Fans started waiting in line Thursday morning for Friday's official opening.
