The best selection of used physical media and anywhere in Utah! Hands down. Even used media seems to be in better shape than most other places. Everyone here is knowledgeable and love what they do! It shows every time here.

Great store! I will say... they could use more labeling and signage on their CD racks; alphabet and genre. It took me awhile to figure out the layout.Staff guys were very helpful with suggestions and sample listening.

I love when I can come to Gray Whale and get exactly what I want! Exactly what I want! Yes I said it twice! Anytime I want anything! All I have to do is come to Gray Whale! Every CD I want, every DVD I want, I can get it here! I have been searching for a movie forever and a day titled Auntie Mame with Rosalind Russell! I love that movie! GUESS WHAT... They found it for me at Graywhale!! yep!! Cool beans they have it for me I will get it next week! Get your stuff at Graywhale every time!!!

Im beyond grateful that Graywhale is still open!!! I ALWAYS walk away with a hidden gem that I never thought I would have found since highschool... I highly recommend checking this gold mine out!!!

I just found these guys & am really happy that I did. The staff is really friendly & its a well kept shop with lots of selection. Well definitely be back for some albums

Graywhale has so many CDs and records you can’t find anywhere else, including on streaming! And it always feels good to shop local.

My favorite place to get records, Graywhale always has a great selection of new and old records. They even have some rare ones if you ask. their website is also really handy, you can search for what they have in stock or when it would be in stock.The staff is also very helpful and friendly, they always offer to order a record for me and hold it until I can get it.

Best experience shopping for vinyl Ive ever had! The graywhale team is super attentive, friendly, and they go above and beyond to make sure everything is going well and Im finding what I want/need. They also have stellar music recommendations.

Been coming here for almost 2 decades, they never fail to disappoint me. The staff is very knowledgeable and more than willing to help. A great shot for people who like to collect TV and music memorabilia. A great little thrift shop of sorts.

This place is pretty awesome. Everything is reasonably priced, well organized, and (despite being part of a chain) it still has a cool underground kind of vibe.

Member since 1989 as of recently every time in store I feel as if I’m bothering staff, and just today asked to excuse staff while he was putting away stock, not to bump records on counter while searching thru “junk” promotional posters. for years try to shop local…..no more, treated much better in big stores, goodbye Graywhale, hello, AMAZON, TARGET, WALMART, free shipping, great inventory, and better prices. oh yeah and they will actually be glad your shopping with them, and appreciate your business!!!!!

Its my home away from home. Im at the point now as to everytime I go there, I usually spent over 100 dollars. The addiction has become so bad that some days youll see me on the corner of the freeway with a sign that says, please help, I have a greywhale addiction, God bless! Dustin, the manager is like my brother. Everytime I go in, I make him feel guilty till he gives me a discount, which he does, cause I wont have it any other way. I just dont think its fair that I have to spend my hard earned money on gas to get there and have to pay full price. NO WAY, thats just not gonna happen. On a serious note, It IS my homeaway from home.

Great selections, hours of operation, and friendly staff. They go out of there way to help everyone 🙂

I love to get my CDs here and my husband loves their selection of pre-owned games and movies. Their team is always super friendly and knowledgeable!

This place was surprising, it had a little bit of everything from music to games. The staff was really helpful and seem to enjoy their jobs. I wish we had a store like this here in Wyoming. Just a fun store something for everyone from all ages. Thank you guys!!

Good selection. Helpful staff. Buy local and get your records here.

Great selection! Some obscure, but they were found! !YAY FOR ME!!

If you dont know about Graywhale you should. Its a great place to find movies and music. Cds, DVDs, Blu-ray, VHS, Vinyl etc. The service is exceptional and they will help you find whatever you are looking for. If its out there they will find it.

Albums are better priced at Target but they have more variety. Need to have hand sanitizer now.

My Nirvana, my Graceland, my Xanadu, this amazing establishment is the best place to be in the city, for those forlorn, for better times of record stores, that we used to get pleasantly lost in....look no further, the Graywhale awaits!!

I love Graywhale but the isles are too narrow for handicapped or strollers. Excellent selection of movies, collectibles, CDs and Vinyl music. Social distancing difficult due to isle width. They either need shelves that rotate vertically or need to expand. Their concert ticket refund strategy is somewhat dubious. Ive been coming here for years and hopefully will for many more. Buy local. Support artists. Ive even purchased local new music here. Fun place but needs slight improvement.

I have never had a negative experience once visiting this store. The staff are extremely friendly, knowledgeable and don’t pester. Even if you don’t find what you’re looking for you’ll find something you didn’t know you were looking for. Amazing store. The only issue I’ve had was finding speakers that would work for my Stanton haha

Wow what a confused mess to try and find anything. They do have a decent selection but good luck finding much of anything with out asking for help.

Very organized and easy to find the movies I was looking for. Wasnt too crowded. And the cashier was very helpful in locating an old membership from years ago. Im glad theyre still around especially after FYE up and left us.

The only all around pre-owned CD, video, game and vinyl shop around. Excellent service and decent but not spectacular selection.

By far Utahs best record shop. Every time I go in I find something I was looking for. They have all kinds of stuff here as well. Cd, games, even books now. I was surprised how many more book they had this time around but it was cool to see. I will be going back to get a few books from there. Cool place to check out if you havent already.

Great selection of rock and pop albums! Really friendly staff.

Bought 12 CDs, David Bromberg, Lyle Lovett, Emmylou Harris, and Linda Ronstadt. Nice score!

Found these today for a cheap price, I now own 4 of her albums!

Great store, sold some VHS and cassettes and bought some DVDs. Very fair and excellent staff.

I hardly ever write online reviews but man Graywhale is a gem. If you are looking to buy or sell used records they always have the best prices of any record shop along the Wasatch Front. Guaranteed. Everything I buy used is always marked higher on Discogs and I consistently get better resell value on things I sell. Also they have an awesome and knowledgeable staff who are super friendly. Hands down the best record shop in Utah, and that goes for both locations. Some record shops who I wont name will take advantage of you. Graywhale always treats me right. For example, one time when I had a record that could better be sold online, they let me know.

I love greywhale. And while I understand I brought in bad product to some degree. This is not my first experience with the following & their manager treats costumers terribly & is a overly self-important jerk.

Great selection, surprisingly! Records are in great supply and friendly staff!

Love this place especially during Halloween the staff is nice and knowledgeable definitely a special place

Had everything we needed; staff was super friendly

This place has tons of vinyl, and CDs!

Excellent place & cool people!

So fun found a great book

It took me a while to find that perfect record store (for me) in SLC but this is definitely it. They have such a great selection of used vinyl that’s very reasonably priced. One time they ordered a record for me, it sold out after they received it, the price skyrocketed — and they still sold it to me for the original price from when I asked them to order it despite knowing that the record was now in high demand. The staff is friendly and they were very well organized for one of the Record Store Days that fell during the pandemic.It may be a bit further away from downtown but it’s worth the drive.

Love this place such good prices 👏

I like this store they still have CDs Haha and they are helpful and friendly thank you graywhale for being awesome.

These guys are always great. Good selection and decent prices.

This store is amazing. Great products available from a warm and welcoming staff. All the staff is knowledgeable and many have specific fields of expertise. I can rely on them to find albums or CDs that I want. If they can’t get it, no one can.The most amazing thing for me is how much everyone on the staff truly care for people. They pride themselves in making everyone know they are welcome. The only exception I’ve noticed are prejudiced people or misogynistic folks. They should probably stay away.This is one of my favorite destinations in the salt lake valley.

Great selection and super staff who know and love CDs and vinyl.

Today was a somber day as I have picked up my last record ever from Graywhale Entertainment. My relationship with Graywhale started in 89/90 at the Taylorsville store. I was 15 and had just started a job at Central Park, which was not far from the T-Ville store. I remember going to cash my check at the grocery store and thinking I would just stop in and see what was new. Now, my paycheck was a whopping $50 and that was a lot of money for me at the time. From the second I opened the door I felt like a member of the Graywhale family. I was instantly treated like not just a customer but a kind of music student for the people that worked there to impart their vast knowledge upon. The owner came out and said hi, told me I was welcome anytime and never treated me like the punk 14 year old that I was. They would often give me advice on what to pick up as they began to commit to memory the type of music I would purchase. This continued almost weekly for about a decade. I bet in that time I spent close to $50,000 on music at Graywhale. In my late 20’s my spending on music had slowed down some, though never completely stopped. I was married and started a family so music became less of a priority. I need to backup and say that I purchased a membership way early on, maybe 1989 or 1990, a few visits after the first. When I purchased the membership, which was a paper slip, the promo they gave me was in essence they would discount the item the amount of sales tax. The tax was still getting paid, the item was just discounted the tax amount. This was supposed to be a lifetime discount as the membership was a lifetime membership (one of the reasons I bought the membership!)Fast forward to last week...I was in the area so I thought I would stop in and see what kind of used stuff they had come in. Due to COVID it had been a couple of months since I had been into the store. It wasn’t busy at all and I didn’t see the people I was used to but I picked a few items and went to pay. The cashier rang everything up and looked like he was struggling with something so I asked him if everything was good. He said when he pulled up my membership it showed that taxes weren’t being taken out. I explained to him the situation, as I had done several times to other employees and managers throughout the years. I had never had an issue with anyone about this before. They would just say well I guess we need to honor it. That’s when jerky boy, who I assume to be the manager, stepped over and said “We will not honor this ever again”, “it’s a wonder we’re still in business” and “that’s against the law”. He preceded to treat me like an idiot and condescend me for another few minutes as they were finishing up the transaction.If I hadn’t prepaid for a record that wasn’t available until the next day I would’ve never gone back.So, with all that I am saddened that my time with Graywhale is over. However, now I don’t have to overpay for music anymore!

Loved looking through your pre-owned books!

#KeepGraywhaleAliveRecord shops are a dying breed, and this is the last location of Graywhale weve got. Graywhale has been around for a long time and deserves to stay open to serve Utah. Great customer service, rewards programs, and a huge selection of music. Check em out!

Some of their retro game selections are over priced. Decent store all around.

Staff is super friendly theres always. Great selection of vinyls

Always have great options for movies and sometimes for video games

Love this place and Im sure they love us too!

I was really impressed with this place! Went there to look at vinyl for Christmas gifts and I found a lot of good stuff. Staff was very helpful, too.

I love this place!! They have an excellent selection of music of all genres.

Surprisingly not a lot of cassettes, and everything is about 3 dollars more than I am willing to spend. I liked greywhale a lot for awhile but its gone a little downhill.

Nice record collection and decent prices.

I absolutely LOVE this store. I try to go here all the time and I usually end up leaving with a bag full of stuff. Ive never had a problem with anyone here and all the employees are very nice and helpful! They are not your typical customer service representatives, but honestly, you dont want that here, thats not what its all about. Expect to be treated like human being and not a robot. I love it. The owner is utterly fantastic. You should also invest in their Killer Whale Card, totally worth your time and money.

Some of the best staff Ive met. Great selection of movies, games, and music. Really sad locations keep closing.

Awesome place to trade in media!

Best one in the state

Last Friday, I had the urge to find a copy of a cd that was at one time stolen from my wifes car. As a good little consumer, I checked Amazon first. They had it for some crazy ridiculous price. I decided to try a different route. I tried google shopping and the first site that popped up was Graywhale Entertainment. They had the disc for a reasonable price even though it is out of print. Needless to say, I wanted another copy so I jumped on it. I ordered it last Friday morning and I had it by Monday. ( So much quicker than Amazon) I have no complaints, the product was in great shape. A small detail was that they also sent a sticker along with my receipt. I thought that was cool. Although I did not visit the store personally, I can definitely see that they are customer oriented. I cant wait to check out their store next time I drive through Utah.

Still the go to spot for vinyl and collectables.

One of the last places left for those of us who still like our music in a tangible form!

Every time i go there, it’s great!! the employees are always so kind and ready to help, and they always have a great selection and wide variety of records, movies, games, and even books. even during this whole difficult time, they’ve been so great about letting their customers know what’s going on, and being really available to help. love this place, will be back soon!!

Terrific selections! Great prices.

Great place to find used and new cd and Vinyl. Albums. Employees are awesome. Dustin was awesome

Cant find too many places nowadays that sell actual CDs, AND some good old fashioned LPs. This place is always cool and the staff is friendly. Rock on!!

Graywhale has been around for a long time. Although as of last year they had to close my favorite location. The one that was inside the old house how sad. But luckily the stores that are left are a lot of fun to go into. With cool music always playing used and new music to find records are back. These folks will check invantory of other stores and if they have it they will have it sent over. I think what give them a five star is its a music store a local store and thats a harder and harder thing to find in this city of salt. Thanks greywhale..

My place to go for my music, its my happy place

So cool. You can buy new and used albums. I picked up a legendary Diana Ross 2 album set, in good condition, for $6.

Such a good selection of different types of entertainment! Their Vinyl Records are so much fun!

Graywhale Entertainment is EASILY one of my favorite destinations whenever I travel to Taylorsville. (I live in Tooele County.) I love hunting for cool movies on Blu-ray -- and they often have something unique. They have an excellent selection of vinyl records, CDs, and tapes. They even have old VHS tapes and books and toys! The staff is friendly and helpful, and if they dont know something, they FIND OUT. I hope that they stay in business indefinitely. I want my Son, who is only two years of age, to grow and appreciate the value of the local record store. Go there!

This is a review for the other location and Graywhale. Good selection and friendly staff. Looks like small businesses are going out the door.

They are v err try Helpful and nice Prices for their Mechandise

Had the movie I wanted and couldnt find anywhere else!

They have a great selection of music, movies, books, and merchandise. But its not an overwhelmingly large assortment which is honestly nice. Its such a cute little store with unique things. They dont have a great selection of young adult books but thats only a small setback. The staff is also friendly too, it makes you want to give them business when you are treated well.

Best Place to Find HORROR/SLASHER FILMS!!!

I have purchased hundreds of movies from here. They are very helpful and they have a great selection!

Amazing store with cool products & very friendly & helpful employees

Graywhale has everything, and is as good as local gets. I love going here

Last store, too much inventory, too expensive, will be boarded up soon. TY covid

Buying tickets for the Spoon concert.

Everyone here is extremely nice and very helpful!

For all of your used music from a great local business. Knowledgeable employees.

Im so happy this store remains open during covid! Because it had a movie that I had been trying to find for a while! Staff was friendly and helpful!😄

Staff is always great. Items can be ordered quickly if they dont have it in stock. They have frequent sales. Artist events here have been great in my experiences. All around good place.

Always great. Always.

Graywhale is one of the best shops in the SLC valley!

They are actually very knowledgeable and help you in any way they can

The last of it kind this place has outlasted all the rest for a reason hands down the best record shop in the state

This is the best Graywhale location in the valley. Its bigger and better organized than the Sandy one. Friendly staff decent selection.

Wanna find a movie you miss or have always wanted to see ? Graywhale has ordered movies I couldnt find anywhere else, they are awesome.

This was a great expierience, i was going to give a whole bunch of movies to DI, but instead decided to see if Graywhale would want any for in store credit. They did, i walked out with 2 new movies for me and still have some of my credit left over. :) good deal when I expected to give them away for nothing.

No one would help me they kept looking the other way wont recommend to anyone

I have been going there for about 2 years now and love it more than life I have their stickers everywhere. Their customer service is amazing and its such an amazing atmosphere Ive started to call it my therapy. They have amazing prices and great deals. Shout out to my favorite employee Mary at Taylorsville campus. She is honestly the best shes hilarious and I always look forward to seeing her when I go in. The only reason I keep coming back is because I feel so comfortable with the staff and the atmosphere is so relaxing. It is 100% the best store ever it deserves more than five stars

Ive been to Greywhale plenty before but not usually at this location. The only reason Im not giving it a full five stars is the cashier that I was checking out with was a bit condescending when he saw I was picking up record cleaning supplies. He tried to explain the process to me and said I should get a full starters kit instead of what I had. Ive been collecting records for about 6 years now. Love the store but didnt love the assumptions the cashier made.

For those of us who refuse to go strictly digital graywhale is there to fight for us

Everytime Ive ever come in here, they are always super friendly and helpful. They take pride in the company and it shows! Always clean and staff is always eager to help. I love this place, been going for over a decade and never had any complaints.

They have the best customer service ever it’s my favorite store

Love this place

Love this place... Always find offbeat used vinyl ever time I visit. Prices are good, employees are super helpful and extremely friendly.
