Gabe Vaughn opened Breakaway on East 5th Street in June 2008 in a room barely big enough for it, moved to North Loop Boulevard in 2010 and took the unit next door in 2017 to double the floor. Josh LaRue came in two years after it opened and is now sole proprietor. It started out used-only and heavy on soul, jazz and hip-hop, and the constant through all of it has been 45s - across every genre, which is the thing regulars come for
