The first Rough Trade shop opened in Ladbroke Grove in 1976 and two years later gave rise to Rough Trade Records. Rough Trade previously had stores in Covent Garden, London, Paris, Tokyo and San Francisco.

The Shoreditch branch opened in 2007. It boasts a coffee shop and also regularly hosts in-store gigs. The Brooklyn branch opened last year in Williamsburg, and is the biggest music store in New York City. “We’re going to give it our best to make the city proud,” said Rough Trade of the new Nottingham shop.
