Artists who got their start selling records at Schoolkids include: Ryan Adams and Whiskeytown, Superchunk, Archers of Loaf, Ben Folds, The Connells, Polvo, Athenaeum and Squirrel Nut Zippers.
As of 2009, the main flagship store in Raleigh, North Carolina (across from NC State University), was the sole location still in business.
In October 2013, the store announced it would relocate to the Mission Valley Shopping Center to make way for a destination hotel while expanding space for live music performances and to sell craft beers.
[1] In 2014, at their new location at the Mission Valley Shopping Center (on the south side of NC State's main campus), Schoolkids obtained an ABC license and started serving craft beers to their customers.
The lineup included The DeBonzo Brothers, Hank Sinatra, Six String Drag, The Baseball Project, and Drivin N Cryin.
