The Rad Zone is Sault Ste. Marie’s top record shop, where you can spend hours flipping through thousands of albums waiting to become part of your collection. It's the perfect place to escape the cold of winter and get lost in the search for the newest additions to your vinyl collection.

Grab a Burger
