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.

Curves for Women is the largest chain of franchised fitness centers in the world with over 8000 locations. They are small facilities with hydraulic resistance machines that are arranged so that you move from machine to machine on a timed interval. There are 8-12 pieces of equipment in the circuit that target specific body parts. The circuit moves you from station to station and is directed by music and taped instruction. You are meant to go at a quick pace to keep your heart rate up. Curves has helped me tighten up my flab, but it does get boring doing the same routine each time I go in.

Postal clerks Peggy, Kim and Rick make this THE best Post Office in the world! They define the term customer service. No other business in town can match the patience these three have. They accurately answer any question you might have and, if in doubt, they will gladly find out the answer for you. If you write a little slow (maybe due to arthritis), they will gladly fill out forms for you. Even though I have moved to Sebring and have two Post Offices closer to my new home, I still return to the Avon Park Post Office just to visit with Peggy, Rick and Kim.

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.

I always thought ARC's prices were high but since moving into their new building, their prices have gotten even higher. I'm not the only one who thinks this, either, judging from how long the same merchandise sits on the same counters week after week after month after month. You're not a retail store - price that junk a quarter and sell it!
We've also heard reliable rumors that say local antique dealers get first dibs at the best donations.

Avon Park lost something special from its downtown area when the Broken Arrow Antique Mall left. And it gained nothing but negative when Bargain Mart moved into the empty space. Bargain Mart bills itself as a mini mall with items for everyone. I say that's true only if your taste is all in your mouth! They have "gifts, jewelry, Oriental items, arts and crafts, ceramics, urban Western wear, clothing and much more." They do have a lot of stuff, but...

More
Once housed next to Hendricks Market, Economy Auto Parts now owns their own building a few doors west. I think their prices are higher than Discount Auto, which is out on US 27, but they are a friendly group and are usually willing to help you solve your car problems. At times, they will even walk out to the parking lot with you, look at your car, help replace a part and discuss what ails your vehicle.

More
Serving Highlands County since 1986, Red Barn carries quite a variety of furnishings. They don't stock a regular inventory, so it is always interesting to browse through the store. I know that some things are bought at auction and resold here. They claim to sell the largest selection of quality used furniture in the area. Red Barn sells reconditioned mattresses at a very good price. The quality is hit or miss, though, depending on what the quality of the original mattress was. Delivery is available and the store is open Monday through Saturday.

Originally located near Food Lion in Sebring, this is the only shop these people still own. They were the original discount card shop in Highlands County. I have shopped their stores for almost 20 years now and I am still pleased with what I buy from them, but I don't think they have quite the variety they once did. Since I've learned the Dollar Tree sells all their cards at 2/$1, they are now my first choice when I am looking for cards but Dollar Tree's choice is very limited. Discount Cards is where I go for the cards I can't find at Dollar Tree.
Discount Cards also sells some boxed cards, calendars, gift wrapping supplies (although I think Dollar Tree has much better prices on wrapping) and a few miscellaneous gift items. They had some beautiful purses at mid-range prices the last time I was in there. Situated in the shopping center next to Bingo, Discount Cards sells bingo daubers, markers and some other bingo supplies.
