Hey everybody, it’s pretty awesome to be here. I’m Jennifer, the owner of Volta Records. Definitely didn’t see record store owner in my career path, but when opportunity knocks, it’s usually best to answer.
I’m a music lover, most genres. Any given day will find me listening to hard rock, industrial, punk, thrash metal, 80s pop, new wave, and hair metal, grunge, and a bit of disco. I missed having music be a big part of my life, but my career took priority. Now I’m able to combine them both and I love it!
I picked up the inventory from The Exclusive Company’s Greenfield location after they announced all their stores were closing due to the death of the chain’s founder, Mr. G. I just couldn’t bear to see that store close! As an added bonus, the staff agreed to stay on and help build Volta Records.
This site is a work in progress, building as we go, just like the brick and mortar location! I hope you check back regularly to see what’s new and experience the creation of a new record store that builds on the legacy of a Milwaukee-area icon.
