RETAIL: Monocle welcomes Rough Trade.
Global recognition for East London store coincides with second annual Record Store Day
By Ben Cardew
LONDON RECORD STORE ROUGH TRADE EAST been named as one of the 20 best retailers in the world by Tyler BrPle's Monocle magazine, the only record shop to feature in the list and one of only three UK stores overall.
The list appears in the April 2009 issue of the magazine, which is edited by Wallpaper founder BrPle. Rough Trade East appears alongside such prestigious names as London's Oliver Spencer and New York's Odin.
Monocle, a global magazine covering international affairs, business, culture and design, says the rundown is "our carefully curated hot list of mini and massive shops from our global travels".
"We're positively thrilled with this acknowledgment," says Rough Trade retail director Stephen Godfroy. "What makes this particular recognition so special is Monocle's appreciation of our work within such a wide context, that we transcend our specialist field to deliver a retail experience on par with the very finest elsewhere in the world."
Godfroy says he hopes Rough Trade East, which opened in July 2007, can stand as a shining example for potential new music stores.
