Very friendly staff and lots of records and other neat stuff to find!
Worth of visit
Really cool store full of records, cds, and other fun music and pop culture memorabilia like posters and shirts! Very large selection of music with many different genres, new and old; expansive discount section too! Highly recommend checking this place out!
3. Whole Note Music Studio
Address: 2331 Bal Harbour Dr, Venice, FL 34293 , South Venice , Florida , United States
David has taken exceptional care of my instruments.
We were so pleased with this violin shop. The owners were so pleasant , informative, knowledgeable and professional. We needed new strings for our violin and they were able to see us without appointment and get it done in a very short time. My daughter left more knowledgeable about violin and is excited to play with her new bow and new strings on her violin. You can definitely tell the owners love what they do. Beautiful shop !!!
Muy buena antencion al cliente
5. St Francis Animal Rescue Thrift Store
Address: 1915 S Tamiami Trail, Venice, FL 34293 , South Venice , Florida , United States
Great little thrift store! Their prices are reasonable sometimes they have 50% off sometimes it’s buy one get one free but either way you always come out with a deal. I have only been to this trip store two or three times but have purchased something every single time! The items are in good condition and can be had for a great price. The people up front have always been nice and friendly and I like donating my change to the animals.
Great place. Clean. Very friendly. Good sales.
Wonderful volunteers doing a fantastic job!!
Great selection
Great friendly place with some great treasures
Friendly and rotating sticker discounts. I will be back. Good for pet supplies, nick nacks, glass. Clothes selection was limited. Not a large store.
6. Venice cigar lounge & Bar
Address: 701 Shamrock Blvd, Venice, FL 34293 , South Venice , Florida , United States
These guys were amazing to work with, from start to finish…knowledgable and the epitome of customer service
Bought a nice Casio keyboard. Donna was quite helpful. No high presure. Very good at describing my choices. If you are looking for a piano or keyboard I would highly recommend.
Great guys. Moved my piano on time and not a scratch. Will use again.
Great selection of new and pre-owned / refurbished pianos, both electronic and acoustic. The staff was very helpful and friendly; we’ll definitely be back for our next piano. Be prepared to mask up when you go in.
We had a difference of opinion regarding the results of my Bluthner tuning, but l believe them to be generally honest and hardworking professionals who try very hard to make their customers happy.
They SUCK
Driving on 75 yesterday morning. Their business vehicle and trailer were easily going 95 on the interstate running people off the road, blasting their horn at people in the middle lane to get around them, riding people’s bumper. I wouldn’t be surprised if they don’t kill somebody soon. If this is how they are in the road I wouldn’t hire them.
8. Walmart Supercenter
Address: 4150 S Tamiami Trail, Venice, FL 34293 , South Venice , Florida , United States
Very nice man working at the Electronics Dept.
Going back one day soon to see if we can find
a phone we both like. N. B.
Always an experience
Busy place to shop
Had to go back to the store because Walmart delivery can NOT seem to get it right! A continuous disappointment…
Cannot find anything. No one to help.
Well laid out, clean, but not 5 stars due to Customer Service staff who stand around chomping on gum, and are impatient w customers. For exterior Pickup, it’s become a bad joke! I have ordered primarily tgru Pickup since it was started last year. It started out great, with the produce and other items chosen carefully and was fresh. However since April, its gone drastically downhill! The produce is old, or bruised, items are missing in the orders or you get other customer’s orders w yours, and every single order you dont get your full order as they’re “out of stock”, so then I have to run to another store to buy what’s needed!! The whole idea of a Pickup station is so its fast, convenient (and safe w Covid), but if you have to wind up going to another store to get the missing 5 or so items, then that’s wasting my time & gas. Ive voiced numerous complaints re this, and they don’t correct the problem.
9. Books-A-Million
Address: 4230 S Tamiami Trail, Venice, FL 34293 , South Venice , Florida , United States
As a Canadian, this was my first time in a Books-a-Million
It was great, lots of selection and the staff was wonderful. Reminded me of our Book store in Ontario- Chapters!
They had a great sale selection in the back! I will return next time!
Relaxing place with the great smell of Books!
Got my books…yea
Bought 6 books, (4) Dragon slayer for one sons series, and wanted to get (3) i forget the title now, for my other sons series. He tried to get the 4 books up in the Bradenton location but were out of stock, was told Venice had them. So I go get the 4 dragon slayer books and the gentleman tells me they only have the 3rd issue of my other sons series. I purchased the third, makes no sense to have the 3rd, and not the 1st and 2nd before hand. I asked to have them mailed to the house and he tells me that it cost $5 something a book to ship as they use a third party company to distribute books they do not have, and that they can not order the books themselves for us to pick up. No way around the $5 something per book to ship. Thats bull****! Said I would just have to wait for a truck and hopes that it the books I want are on it?!?!? Might want to change the name to Books-a-thousands or Books-shipped-4-$5bucks. Nice employees. No stranger things merch, shame.
Liked it here at first glance. But that’s usually the case with any book store. Prices were on par with most, still cheaper than Barnes & not-so-Noble…
Has a coffee shop built in. The employees with the masks on were my biggest concern. I couldn’t understand the woman at the checkout… felt awkward
The lady vacuuming would scramble to adjust hers everytime I walked by… just an overall tense vibe because of the masks and the fear they promote.
Won’t be returning…
Felt to uptight.
Honestly I’m appalled at the way I was treated. Despite living in Venice for 14 years and regularly visiting this store I will never come back. Avoid this store or just shop online. Female Manager was rude and I felt unwelcome.
The incessant upselling at the checkout counter destroys an otherwise pleasant shopping experience.
