Although I have a heck of a time communicating with the people who work here, I do like their fruits and veggies. I've been buying from them for years and years. They used to be one of the produce stands out in front of what was Wal-Mart then Tractor Supply and most recently the temporary Post Office. They've been at their present location, beside Burger King, for several years now. While I think their prices are a bit high, I can sometimes find good deals on damaged or stuff that's beginning to get too ripe.

These people are crooks and have a real scam going on. They reposess more cars in the state-why? they ask for large down payments, tell you to pay every 2 weeks and if you are a day late they repo to see it over again.Who ever heard of any legitimate business repoing a car after a day or two. Then Joel Chaney screams at veryone and scares them and behaves like a neurotic fool. He has bodyguards and sits behind a bullet proof glass. I do not think a business who has that type of surroundings is safe to even be around. Save your money and your life and stay far away from this shady company.
Pros: NOT ONE THING GOOD CAN BE SAID ABOUT THESE CROOKED PEOPLE
Cons: THEY ARE BEING INVESTIGATED BY SEVERAL AGENCIES AND A CLASS

We came here as a last resort because the other motels were full. We did not enjoy our stay here. Although it is located by the highway, therefore it is easily accesible, our night here at Oak Tree Inn was unpleasant. The place was overall small, noisy, dirty and we seemed assalted by putrid smells. We also worried about the plumbing and in the end refused to use the bathroom.
Not recommended.

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.

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.

When my husband and I ate at Cafe Avon, we were truly disappointed. We felt the food was overpriced and not very good. We also thought the menu choices were very limited. This restaurant opened several years ago and seems to have prospered (they've enlarged their tiny restaurant); however, so maybe we missed what other people seem to have found.

I don't know what happened to this doughnut shop! It used to be a nice, clean Dunkin'' Donuts that we stopped at once or twice each month. Dunkin' Donuts often had coupons in the paper with great deals so we took advantage of those. I don't know what happened to Dunkin' Donuts but Donut King is an awful replacement. The store is dirty, the employees are rude and the donuts are nowhere near as good. However, this is also a Shell station and they often have a good price on gasoline so check the price as you're driving by and you may want to stop and gas up.

I recently had a car wreck and needed to leave my car at the dealership for body work and repairs. I rented a car from Enterprise during the week my car had to be left at the dealership. I knew several days in advance that I would be renting the car so I called Enterprise to reserve a car and give them my claim number, etc. I was assured there would be a car held for me; however, when I arrived at Enterprise, there was not a single car available. In fact, the girl on duty didn't even have anything showing I had called and reserved a car. Although she was apologetic and was able to get a car for me from the Sebring location, it took over an hour to get everything arranged. I do have to say that Enterprise gave me a five-upgrade vehicle at no extra charge. (It did cost me more in gas, though.)

More
Although Winn-Dixie sometimes has great loss leader sales, it is my least favorite grocery store of the three big names in town - Publix, Albertson's and Winn-Dixie. It seems to be the dirtiest store to me. Perhaps that's just because it's the oldest and looks dirtiest. Their employees seem to be the least helpful. On more than one occasion, I've stood at a checkout register or at the customer service desk and not even been acknowledged for several minutes. If you see me in Winn-Dixie, you'll know they are having a fabulous sale on something!

Our Save-A-Lot has some low prices but not the kind of prices I hear people across the country talk about. I will sometimes see sale prices in their advertising flier that I'll go in for but not very often. They had potatoes at an exceptional price about six months ago and their price on bananas is usually 20 cents less per pound than Wal*Mart's (which usually has the lowest prices in town). Our Save-A-Lot does not have many name brand products and, of course, you have to pack your own groceries which is hard for me since I have muscular dystrophy and am not supposed to lift anything heavier than 5 pounds. The store was revamped in the last couple of months and seems to be a bit cleaner now. I'll pick up a few things when I pay my bill at TECO, which is right next door, but shop here much more than that.
