Hidden gem and a great place to visit for any vinyl collector!
Lots of Cds
Good
I just got into collecting records and this place has a wide selection from vinyl, CD, dvds that you should find something you would like.
Great place to buy LP records, but the selection of 45’s are really low. Wish you’d get better inventory and ones with picture sleeves, than those ones on the shelf. Very friendly service. Good location off Tamiami Trail and good parking.

Good variety
Bianca has very good costume service nice person.
They get nice items , tad expensive for jewelry. But always neat to check out the inventory.
I have proper ID which I was never asked for I was completely judged from the time I walked in the door to the time I put my stuff on the table my friend who was with me not only purchases stuff from your store but also traded stuff in with you guys recommended I go to you so I don’t get how him being with me was illegal so he brought me there and you guys even treated him nasty you will say anything to protect your people so I get it and I’m just one person and you guys see a million people a year so you don’t need my business so I’m guessing the other reviews are liars as well I highly doubt that I experienced that first hand you can view your cameras how I was talk to and looked at he wouldn’t even make eye contact with me but it’s okay you guys keep doing whatever you’re doing.
Obviously they hold grudges…dont piss them off or they wont help you
Didn’t get the name but the bald African American gentleman working here offered me $50 for a $1,700 watch. When I told him I knew the value of it he proceeded to tell me “yes, $1700 new but this is used” (in perfect condition) I laughed and said no. Then I asked if they had any gold Italian bull horn necklaces in stock and before I could get the last word out he quickly said “no”. I obviously hurt his ego. Sad. Lost out on 2 great deals all because he couldn’t pull one over on me. I definitely recommend this place if your looking to get cheated out of your valuables and money. 5 stars for con artistry and patheticness.
4. Fletcher Music Center Inc
Address: 1441 Tamiami Trail # 837, Port Charlotte, FL 33948 , Port Charlotte , Florida , United States
I have always wanted to learn to play the piano and keyboard but didn’t have the more flexible work hours previously like I have now to learn to play. I saw the sign at Fletcher Music Center in the Port Charlotte Town Center Mall that they had six lessons for $20. I inquired with the personnel as I figured it was $20 per lesson and was pleasantly surprised that it was $20 for the whole six weeks! I read and was advised that they provide a lifetime of lessons through the MusiClub once you buy a Lowrey organ through the Fletcher store. A couple weeks into the classes, and once I found out how easy they make it to be able to play beautiful music that I love, I knew my little Casio keyboard wasn’t going to be enough for me. I purchased one of the Lowrey virtual orchestra organs and it has changed my life! Whenever I’m stressed out, which is nearly every day in my line of work, I turn to my organ to play. I love the personnel and instructors at Fletcher who go out of their way to make my music hobby such a wonderful experience. And I’ve met a lot of new friends through the MusiClub. I can’t believe how far I’ve come in just a little over a year of playing, thanks to Fletcher! They have a student for life!
Fletcher Music has a very helpful and knowlegable staff. I started several years ago with the 6 lessons for $20. That was the best decision I have made! Perhaps it’s not for everyone. But investing $20 to try it out..hey you can’t go wrong. Stick with it, and you won’t regret it. You will learn, grow, improve memory, co coordination and make new friends along the way. I highly reccommend Fletcher Music Center of Port Charlotte!!
This company advertises 6 lessons for $20 for customers. This must not include potential service customers, or music purchases. Apparently lessons are only if you’re going to buy an organ from them. My mom signed up for lessons but when she arrived for her fourth lesson, she was asked to leave. The gentleman didn’t give her a reason at the time – just asked her to leave. When she arrived home embarrassed and upset my dad called Fletcher Music. They told him it was because she purchased a used Lowrey organ from an acquaintance and not from them. What a TERRIBLE way to treat someone. They could have done the courtesy of informing her over the phone rather than humiliating her in the store. This would be like a Honda dealership kicking you out of their store because you bought a used Honda from someone else. Good dealerships do not operate that way.
Terrible experience with the very experienced sales woman. I would not recommend this store for experienced or novice beginners unless there is someone welcoming to potential customers. Interesting how there was no one playing in the store and she made it clear that we were not welcome to play any of the instruments. She also wasn’t helpful as she didn’t recommend another store for us to visit to where we would be welcome and she could possibly receive a referral fee.
Wouldn’t let you play the organs. Sorry, I don’t pay without playing.

Excellent little shop. I received an LP from someone as a gift and had no turntable. Ended up leaving the store with a turntable, about a dozen records, and collectible Star Wars figures as Christmas gifts for my sister. Great selection and something there for all tastes.
Incredibly knowledgable staff who go the extra mile to help their customer. Not pushy, do not try to up-sell you, and answer any question you have (no matter how many) with a useful answer. Surprisingly large and varied inventory; something for everybody and every budget. Prices are also a bargain and better than what you can find online. Great people running a great store.
Great selection, very nice, highly recommended . Go here before buying new, everything is reasonably priced. Thanks again!
An excellent place to buy vinyl and other gadgets. Just wish you’d have a much better selection of sleeved 45’s, besides those boxed dusty ones on the floor. Friendly service too. Good prices on LP’s.
Great place
Fast friendly service

Have been in quite a few times to purchase vinyl over the last few years and always had great interactions with the two younger guys. Stopped in recently to sell a few DVDs and while speaking to one of the younger guys, the owner came over and rudely lashed out at him for even considering buying them with zero clue of our conversation. Did not acknowledge me as a customer or even look at me. Disrespectful and unprofessional. Last trip for me. Go to TJ’s…
REPLY -Nope wrong guy. You did not buy anything from me and I never brought in figurines. TJs was not mentioned. Funny how you think he was in the right without knowing exactly who I am. Don’t turn this around, own it, he was rude and that is why I posted a review.
The timing of my review is completely irrelevant. Done wasting my time with you. What a great way for you to represent your business. I’m confident people reading this back and forth will clearly see your unprofessionalism. I must admit tho, looking forward to your senseless and meaningless response.
Owner is rude to say the least went in to sell a music processor that we had been told to bring back if ace drums didn’t want it and he came at us yelling and all but pushing our equipment off the counter on the floor employee was even baffled by his attitude will never go back or send anyone there again
Great selection! Owners are super knowledgeable and helpful!
Great selection Very nice people with alot of Knowledge
Amazing selection of awesome things and well picked vinyl.
Helpful staff, nice first visit, we’ll be back for sure. Highly recommended.
Excellent little curio shop. Note somehow the cost of my product increased by $1.50 between receipt and posting on my Visa card. Not sure who’s at fault.
Great customer service. Husband an wife family owned from England
10. Kenny Smith Guitar Lessons
Address: 2541 Tamiami Trail, Port Charlotte, FL 33952 , Port Charlotte , Florida , United States
Clean and organized. Plenty of different fandoms and other pop culture to look at and choose from. Not too badly priced either which is nice.
Love going here, especially for more mainstream, and even older artists. Almost always have what I’m looking for.
It’s Soo fun seeing what there is!
Cool stuff
Can be a bit pricey, but a very good selection.
Enjoy browsing but rarely buy anything.
Employees talking amongst themselves, no one at the cash register, no one even acknowledged me being there
I was signed up for the VIP program at this store and not even told that there would be a cost I was just asked if I wanted to join and I would get a percentage off. The employee never said anything about it being a monthly charge! I had to call and go thru hell just to get it cancelled. Very Irritating…….
Very small store with very limited selection of movies and music.

Address: 2636 Tamiami Trail, Port Charlotte, FL 33952 , Port Charlotte , Florida , United States
Great place , Dave and the crew go the extra mile to help.They are very friendly and knowledgeable about their instruments and music.
great music shop had them repair 2 clarinets they did a great job
Great selection and alway helpful
Pretty cool place. Asked about lessons. Seemed pretty expensive for 1/2 session.
Otherwise folk’s were helpful.
The sales guy was very knowledgeable and 100% serving the music minded community.
Is not a fashion oriented store, certainly has instruments, for sell and I guess repair. In our case we used the piano studio for practicing, and met Piano teacher Jasmine, wonderfull experience
Still waiting for the thicker than blood reunion at the token.
Great selection of records, CD’s, cassettes, audio equipment, and other cool music related items! Great prices and very helpful staff. There’s something there for everyone! Thanks again, I’ll be back for sure!
Always on point and always have everything I’m looking for. Patron for life ❤ if you haven’t checked them out I’d do it!
