Electric Fetus

"[1] Owner Keith Covart estimates that the store has an inventory of approximately 50,000 titles.

[2] The store was founded in June 1968 by partners Dan Foley and Ron Korsh.

Operations began in 1968 when Korsh rented a storefront in the Cedar-Riverside neighborhood, known at that time as the Haight-Ashbury of Minneapolis.

In 1972 the business moved to its present location on the corner of 4th Avenue and Franklin.

[1] A definitive history of the store was written in 2006 by Penny Peterson and Charlene Roise: "A History of the Electric Fetus" as prepared for the Greater Twin Cities Blues Music Society.
