Under the Surface Records Announces Move to a New Location
TIFFIN, OHIO – January 23, 2024 – Under the Surface Records, owned by Jacob Wheeler, is excited to announce its move to a new and expanded location at 134 S. Washington Street, Tiffin. The store, originally located at 16 E. Market St. since September 2021, specializes in metal and punk music genres, offering a diverse selection that includes jazz, soul, country, and classic rock.
The larger space will accommodate a more extensive inventory and include a dedicated music performance area for local and guest artists/bands. This has been Wheeler’s vision from the start of his business.
Wheeler stated, "My goal is to build a community around music. I think being in Downtown Tiffin is the best way to connect with those who live and visit here."
The new location will continue to offer a range of music products, including vinyl records, CDs, cassette tapes, concert DVDs, and both new and vintage concert T-shirts.
Mayor Lee Wilkinson commented on the move, "We are excited to see Under the Surface Records be able to bring even more of their eclectic inventory to Downtown Tiffin, giving music lovers of all kinds the opportunity to find their next favorite album or a gem from yesteryear. Congratulations to Jacob Wheeler and his team on coming to their new home on South Washington Street."
The grand re-opening of Under the Surface Records is scheduled for February 1st.

About Downtown Tiffin
The revitalization of downtown Tiffin began in 2011, when a group of community members came together to form “Tiffin Tomorrow”, with the goal of promoting and encouraging economic development in Downtown Tiffin, and creating plans, programs and actions to ensure long-term vitality and prosperity. In 2014, the City of Tiffin contracted with SIEDC to act as the downtown organization and “Tiffin Tomorrow” came under the SIEDC (now TSEP) umbrella as the “Downtown Development Board,” which serves as the governing board of the downtown organization. In 2015, Tiffin joined Heritage Ohio’s Main Street Program. For more information, click here.
