Just down the street/across the road from Bank of America, World Of Flowers is easy to find. They often have balloons on a sign at the corner of W. Morrill Street and US 27 which help, too. Although there are several floral shops in the area, World Of Flowers is one of my favorites because they give superb customer service. Whenever I go to Ridge Florist, the largest in the area, I always feel like I'm causing a problem for the person helping me. This has never been the case at World Of Flowers!
World of Flowers has a large inventory of fresh flowers, tropicals, plants, European/dish gardens, contemporary and traditional arrangements, high-style floral arrangements, silk arrangements, dried floral arrangements, an extensive gift line, gourmet and fruit baskets, gift baskets, greeting cards and candles. They do arrangements for weddings and funeral designs, too.

I have often bought flowers from Ridge; both in Avon Park and Sebring. I have always been pleased with my purchase. They have been there in times of sadness as well as joy. I love the personal touch they extend and care they give with the arrangements.
Sincerely in Christ,
Vila & frankie

If my husband is in the middle of a project and needs something quick, he'll sometimes go to Palmer Hardware. It's amazing what all is packed in this store! As small as it looks from the outside, only half of it is devoted to hardware. The other half is appliance sales. I often browse the shelves while my husband is looking for what he needs or someone to help him. Speaking of help, don't expect much unless you're dealing directly with the Palmers. I don't know where they find the nimrods that work there but they don't know much, including how to run a register. To sum it up, Palmer Hardware is convenient if you live in Avon Park and not as busy as Bagwell's so you can usually get in and out quickly.

We've bought several appliances at Palmer Electric - a washing machine, stove and refrigerator. The salespeople (often Mr. Palmer himself) have always been helpful, but the cashiers leave a lot to be desired. I bought an extended service contract for the washing machine, which was good because I've had to have it serviced every year since we bought it in 2000. Now, this isn't Palmer's fault but the problems I've had with making an appointment for someone to come service it were. It has always taken many phone calls, promises to call back and at least a week before someone came to assess the problem, let alone fix it. We've always had the same serviceman work on the washing machine and he's been great, too -fast, efficient and apologetic for the problems I've had with the office. We purchased all these appliances before there was a Home Depot or Lowe's in the area. Now that we have BOTH of these, I think I'll buy my appliances there from now on.

I made a counted cross stitch picture as a gift and wanted an engraved brass plaque to put on the frame. I found what I needed in a catalog but it would have cost close to $15 and I didn't want to spend that much money. After a lot of searching, I learned that Heartland Engraving was able to make exactly what I wanted for only a couple of dollars. It was the perfect final addition to my handmade gift.

I say Freda's Fantasies looks like an interesting shop because in the ten or so years I've known of its existence, I have never found it open. And I pass by there during daytime hours - not the middle of the night. There is a sign on the door with a phone number that says you can call for an appointment but that doesn't seem very convenient to me. From standing outside and looking in, the shop seems to be FULL of fabulous items. I just hope I find it open one day.

Although not a super store like Wal-Mart, Federal Discount does have some prices which are comparable and even a little less. You've really got to know your prices and compare, though, or you will probably overpay. Federal Discount has some items which Wal-Mart does not stock. Federal Discount is much easier to get in and out of than Wal-Mart.

My husband's stepmother used to say she found lots of bargains at Family Dollar so I decided to look around. Now, I have to say she lived in Indiana and that may make a difference but I thought our Family Dollar store was awful! The merchandise looked like cheap, imported crap to me. All the figurines had wayward paint strokes and sloppy faces, for instance, and the clothing was made out of cheap, stiff, scratchy material. I thought the prices were higher than I can find at Wal*Mart, Big Lots, Dollar Tree or Dollar General stores. I've not been back since.
