The pair bought the store and with the help of a local dj's idea for a new name, it became Flip Side Record Parlor , like the flip side of a record. Douglas later divorced his beloved wife with who he had one child with. He continued with the business until his death in 2011. He passed on the business to his devoted manager and dear friend, who currently is still running it.
