It seems like it has been located on the westside of Grand Rapids forever. It originally started in a storefront at Alpine and Leonard (now the parking lot for Walgreen's) before moving into an old five and dime drugstore a little west of their original location. Rainbow Music, at 1148 Leonard St. NW, will soon be closing their doors for good. Co-owners Pete Bardolph and John Gelderloos both grew up in Chicago, before moving to Grand Rapids to attend Calvin College. They also put together a country-rock band called "Lazy". Bardolph received a double major in math and music, while his friend Gelderloos majored in music.
