What rhymes with beanos?
beanos

Beanos was a second-hand record shop, once the largest in Europe, located in the South London suburb of Croydon. It was founded by musician David Lashmar in 1975 and continued to expand through three increasingly larger shops ending up in an old printing works in Middle Street during the 1990s. After over thirty years of trading, Beanos faced the threat of closure in 2006, although the immediate threat was averted by concentrating the store's focus on rare vinyl records, rather than compact discs which were being undercut by large music chains and supermarkets. However, in November 2008 Lashmar announced that the store would have to close by the end of the year as sales had not picked up, and the shop closed in the autumn of 2009. In January 2010, Lashmar reopened Beanos as STUFF marketplace, which officially closed on 30 April 2010 due to lack of business. In December 2010, Lashmar and Beanos featured in the BBC television series Turn Back Time: The High Street. Lashmar appeared as a 1970s record shop owner trying to sell vinyl records to the public in Shepton Mallet, Somerset. After the short lived STUFF venture, the site was then host to Beanies, a child-friendly cafe also offering play areas and workshops, for several years, before this too ceased operations. As of 2018 the building is now home to Project B, a venue for hire to host private events. One of the memorable community ventures was the Millennium Bug limited edition single released by Beanos for the year 2000, which was a popular hit for fans worldwide, with each CD having a unique artwork with Beanos as main artwork.
