Fantastic business, owners are professional, extremely knowledgeable, and atmosphere is family-friendly. I purchased a great gun, with the help of owner and staff, that suits my needs and I couldn’t be happier. I highly recommend this business to anyone browsing for a gun who requires experienced help in choosing a make & model best suited for an individual’s handling & purpose. My research proved their prices to be the lowest in the area & I wasn’t disappointed. This is a Christian-run business so if you want honesty, integrity & guarantees, with unbeatable prices, head to Central Pawn – Guns and Ammo; they won’t let you down! God Bless!
My go to place for work items as well as birthday gifts and holiday gifts. I have never had a bad experience there. Alex is absolutely wonderful and her husband is very helpful and knowledgeable as well. They will bend over backwards to make sure that you find what you are looking for. I give a huge shout out to them and thank you for all of yalls hard work throughout the years…I always love our visits ❤
Great people will take care of you and also great prices
They take payments on guns lol, what more do you want.
If u r straight up with them, plan on getting ur stuff back and have something they will pawn!!?? She will work with you to a certain extent anyways
I’m new to the area and frequent pawnshops for DVDs and other things I collect. You never know what you will find in one. So I came in and met the owner who was not in a good mood. I saw a certain rifle and asked him about it and he explained that certain guns on display were not for sale. I was wanting to clarify the model and he came over and took a yellow highlighter and used it on the small card on the wall that said guns not for sale as opposed to answering my simple question. I’ve worked pawn shops and you always try to be cordial to build your customer base instead of irritating someone to the point where they go home and write a negative review. All he had to do was answer a question.
Horrible policy concept
Unethical behavior. Either liars or not too smart.
She Tried to use 2 receipts to inflate value of a diamond ring. Shame on you.
5. Super Wine & Liquor
Address: Next to Advance Auto Parts, 835 US Hwy 27, Lake Placid, FL 33852 , Placid Lakes , Florida , United States
Store was neat and tidy. Easy to find what you need.
The owner is so nice and knowledgeable! He knows the brands that make the best, not just the ones that advertise the most. He’s got SO much going on in his little store and he’s well stocked!
Very friendly nice helpful. Great selection good prices will order in special requests!
Everyone you encounter is just as friendly as you are and I love that.
Not the nicest place. Has a variety of liquors and mixers etc. Also sells cigarettes, cigars, and lotto tickets. Not much parking but never extremely busy making it unable to get a spot either.
Good prises
Very nice staff
Passing by
I didn’t stop at Super Wine & Liquor, only drove by.
6. Lake Placid Do It Best Hardware
Address: 190 Plaza Ave, Lake Placid, FL 33852 , Placid Lakes , Florida , United States
In & out with no hassle. Bought some plumbing parts and sprinkler stuff.
A good place well-managed
It is the traditional hardware store. Everyone goes out of their way to help and offer solutions for whatever needs to be done.
Great people…limited inventory
Convenient to Lake Placid but prices are high.
When we shop we usually ask if the store has a military discount. The cashier asked for branch of service and last four. The cashier says “If you get captured you give that information.” Okay buddy, we’re not being captured and not on a war field. The discount isn’t that serious, keep it.
As we were walking away he’s laughing at us. That is very unprofessional and made me feel degraded.
Needless to say, we regret any business and wouldn’t be stepping back into that store again.
A few months back, i needed a gallon of paint. They just happened to have the color that i needed already mixed in the manager’s special “oops” paint section. The owner of the store had it mixed for his own home, then brought it back because he “didnt like the color”. I bought it at a discounted price. It had the consistancy of mayonaise so I brought it back the next day and got a refund. No problem. I must add that im a regular customer there pretty much every day, sometimes multiple times per day. Not anymore. I went in there today to get a gallon of paint and was informed that Robert, the manager , has instructed his employees to not sell me paint anymore. Ill be going to W&W for now on.
I got to the store 5 minutes before the closing time. The employee watching me walk to the doors and locks it I knock on the door and two employees completely ignore me being there. I used to think this store was great and convenient but with this experience I will take my business else where I’d understand if it were 7pm or after 7pm but I was still within store hours.
7. Nu-Hope Thrift Shop
Address: 103 S Main Ave, Lake Placid, FL 33852 , Placid Lakes , Florida , United States
Had a great time, if you need vocals done, or mix and master, Geronimo is your guy he is the producer there. awesome! cozy studio in the heat of Lake Placid
I had done a voice acting gig and Geronimo was so kind, understanding and so willing to work with you. 10/10 Will be going back to make music with him.
We had our track produced mixed and mastered at p2p and will be back, the producer knew what we wanted and came through and would recommend it. Great studio with all the latest
9. Dollar General
Address: 108 US Hwy 27 N, Lake Placid, FL 33852 , Placid Lakes , Florida , United States
Good place for personal care items. Often have to wait in line as there is usually only one register open. Cashiers friendly. (They used to be found outside smoking while one lady ran a register and the store was dirty. They remodeled and looks much better now. I guess the other cashiers either left or got fired.) Descent selection of refrigerated foods now as well which is good if you don’t want to enter a big grocery store. Big improvement at this store.
Great for budgets
Staff not very helpful on items for sale. I’ve asked if they have any items that’s not found and they say they don’t know. And that is it, they make no effort to see if your item is in the store.
Today was one of the worst and most humiliating days that I’ve ever experienced here at this store. I go there about 3 times a week with my little boy in a jogging stroller and have never had a problem till today with this employee named Kristany Lee she humiliated me by telling me outloud that item’s were supposed to be in the shopping cart not in the stroller and there were people passing by starring at me as if I had stolen something. My son was holdind a box of cereal and had a box of toothpaste with him too and I told her that that was all that he was holding and she yelled out the same thing agian. Then when I got was ready to pay she was next to the cashier just starring at me. I swear I had never been through anything like this before. I don’t think I’ll be going to this store anymore. I can understand it might be a new rule or whatever that they have to go by but it’s just the way she said it to me. God bless her cause it seems like she really needs him.
Smelled like a rat died
10. Bealls Outlet
Address: 490 US Hwy 27 Ste 1280, Lake Placid, FL 33852 , Placid Lakes , Florida , United States
Less quality in women’s wear . But still some good things. Some good finds in housewares. Lots of purses.
Living in Florida with 90 degree weather at the end of October it would be nice to have more than 2 pairs of shorts available to purchase
The store is organized and well stocked. There is a good selection of clothes for all ages. There is also a decent selection of accessories to choose from in this store. The home goods area has a lot of items and is very large. There is handicap parking available and the store is manageable with a wheelchair.
Not a good selections..
Waiting in line on Saturday before mother’s day. One checker …really!
Not for me. Couldn’t find anything useful. Nothing for big and tall people (my son)
11. Family Dollar
Address: 170 Plaza Ave, Lake Placid, FL 33852 , Placid Lakes , Florida , United States
Always get what we are looking for. Everyone is very helpful. Thank You
I never lived in a small town but after 2 years, I solely believe that even though it’s part of a conglomerate chain it serves it’s service in small town AMERICA, Lake Placid dollar has become a home away from home.
Great people
Muy bien
Greeted by a new_ employee being trained. She was pleasant and seems to be happy to be there. I sure hope so because there are couple of other employees that I just can’t stand because of their attitude and just the ugh feeling of being at work there and takes it out on the customers. That is what kept me out of the store from shopping for so long. Maybe have shopped here 5xs maybe in the past year. But hoping the new employee is here to stay. Will shop here more often. Thanks for the kindness.
Cereal stale ice cream melted and refrozen freezer bite as well cust really nice tho and funny
John has an attitude. Racks said 50% off and he argue that the wind blow the buy one get one 50%. Misleading information!
I could have walked out with the whole store and employ was busy talking to other employee
Ed the cashier was absolutely rude, bounced around tapping the pen on the counter while the customer is trying to get it changed out of her purse, and then called me a scammer when I tried to return merchandise with the receipt and the tags still on. He smashed the receipt out of my hand, it’s loud rude and does not belong there and absolutely disgusting he told me to go and write a review if I didn’t like it, so here I am !.
12. Redbox
Address: 2742 US Hwy 27, Lake Placid, FL 33852 , Placid Lakes , Florida , United States
Always find a goodie or two. Enjoy scouting there. Hit or miss but some great finds for project pieces.
I became homeless,I went to this store to get a blanket so I didn’t freeze sleeping outside in the brush off the side of the highway. The Gentleman that owns the store said he didn’t really have much for linens.. He then proceeded to walk to the back storage area and found a sheet and a blanket and said it was on the house. Then he called me over and handed me a camping kit with utensils plates and a pop up cup. He then brought me over to the other side of the shop and gave me canned goods and a microwave beef stew. I almost cried when he handed me the food. I said thank you and walked across the street. He then called out to me and had a rolling suitcase… This Gentleman blew my mind with his generosity and kind heart. I can’t say thank you enough. Amazing owner,a place I will never forget.
Great place to shop at, no pressure buying, young man let us look and was so helpful when we seen something we wanted. We bought the item and he carried it out to our car and said thanks, come again and we definitely will !!!
My mother just went in and had a nasty run in with the guy and lady that work there.
The store is messy, stuff everywhere- I guess that’s normal for a thrift. What’s not normal is the guy working the shop. Weird aggressive energy from the moment you walk in and what really did it for me was him with a group of elderly women who were likely finding the store dangerously cluttered to navigate “BYE” and “I’ll make sure to have less stuff next time” as they kindly exited the store. The dude needs to get a grip
The man there was rude. I told the person I was with his prices were to hi. He followed us out to the care. And took our pictures.
19. Heartland Band Supply
Address: 202 Circle Park Dr, Sebring, FL 33870 , Placid Lakes , Florida , United States
A little hard to find but very nice and helpful service.
well stocked mom and pop music store. a bit difficult to find, above the theatre on the circle in Sebring FL. reasonable prices. good folks.
I bought some guitar picks. The entrance is on the side of the building, go up the stairs and down the hall. They have guitars for sale and give music lessons.
They had the mandolin strings I needed. Thanks
Would not restring my guitar at 340pm when they close at 4pm. Poor customer service. Loss of prospective customer.
