Pack Ratt Records and Junk is a vinyl-and-vintage shop on El Cajon Boulevard in San Diego's College Area, occupying Suite G at 4712 El Cajon Blvd in the 92115 ZIP west of SDSU. Owner Mikey Whaley opened the store in 2015 after acquiring a 4,000-record collection and selling it out of a spare showroom while working at the adjacent Trophy Motorcycles on the same boulevard. The record bins focus on punk, garage rock, psychedelic, indie, metal, and hard rock on vinyl, with a secondary stock of CDs, cassettes, and rare pressings that rotates as Whaley sources estate sales and private collections across San Diego. Vintage clothing from co-owner Dannielle Cobb's Puss in Boots Vintage label shares the floor space, stocking leather boots, Levi's denim, band tour shirts, and motorcycle-culture outerwear that complements the El Cajon Blvd vintage retail strip shared with Aphrodite's Closet. The surfboard rack holds a rotating inventory of vintage longboards and shortboards, and the skate section carries Route 44 Skateboards decks plus a self-described "world's smallest skateboard museum" displaying collector boards from the 1960s through the 1980s. Additional stock includes chopper and motorcycle parts, vintage magazines, costume jewelry, and subcultural ephemera that skews toward the Southern California surf-skate-punk intersection. The SDSU student newspaper covered Pack Ratt as a neighborhood cultural anchor, and Eater San Diego featured the El Cajon Blvd block as part of the boulevard's broader retail identity. Collector-culture crossover shoppers can browse comic books and action figures at TC's Rockets - Comics & Toys in nearby Allied Gardens, which shares the same dig-and-discover retail format. Whaley keeps surf movies and skate footage running on a screen behind the counter, and the shop's knowledge base on board shaping, kneeboards, and mat surfing draws a clientele that treats the visit as part education, part shopping trip.
