Millpond Records is a record store located in Port Dover Ontario, Canada. We carry top quality new and vintage vinyl, CDs, cassettes & books. We meticulously grade all our vinyl and books. Our website maintains a current inventory of vinyl ( cassettes & CD’s also, some DVD’s and VHS even). You can purchase online and pick up in store to save on shipping, or we can ship to you.
Our vinyl specialties are ROCK, ALTERNATIVE, JAZZ, and POP.
Vince (Venanzio) Jelenic
Owner of Millpond (now moved to Port Dover)
UPDATE: Millpond has now moved to Port Dover where Vince has “retired” to a sunny home near the beach. Feel free to contact us and drop in for a visit. Retail store now at 110 Market St. East, Port Dover. BTW. I no longer sell “books”.
Back in 2003 I purchased a trailer full of books, and a scale. As part of Green Spot Antiques, at the old 175 Beverly Street location (now Long & McQuade) we started selling books by the POUND. Yup, $1 a pound. A couple of bookcases quickly became well over 10,000 books. Sold records too, at 5 for $1.
In fact, we sold books & records wholesale to more than a few book and record dealers (including Milllpond when it first started in 2010 )
Now, I’m back at it, having relocated Millpond to my Galt location, saving it from the wrecking ball of history (and the real one, with the building being demolished too). When I heard Millpond was closing in 2020, I moved quickly to try to revive it, during one of the most risky periods in my retail history — a full-on Covid pandemic period.
A full service vintage vinyl and bookstore lives on. I won’t even mention how much work it was to pivot the store to full online sales in order to survive. We now sell in store, from our website, from Discogs, from Biblio, and occasionally on eBay.
When you visit you may be greeted by Vince, (Marsie no longer with me, God rest her soul) or Joule (an adventuresome but really friendly black cat, sorry now too old for the store….) I really miss Marsie , Bowser (?my? dog) and Joule here at the store. I am thrilled to continue to build the Millpond vision of a community-oriented shop for quality affordable music in the picturesque lakeside Port Dover.. Just a hop away from the lake, boating, beach and good food.
As an awesome “antiques recycler” for over 40 years, I take pride in saving items from landfill. To date, well over 300 TONNES of landfill saved through our antiques and auction business. By bringing back Books, VINTAGE vinyl and music cassetes, DVD, CD and other music related items into our store, we extend those savings even more.
BE GREEN, buy Vintage! It’s the best option for you, our planet, and the future.
Looking forwards to meeting you 🙂
