Eagle Ridge Mall opened on February 22, 1996 with 80 stores, a carousel, an ice skating rink, and…read moreanchor stores that included Sears, JCPenney, and Dillard's. The grand opening of the 100 million dollar, 624,000 square-foot mall attracted 3,700 people within the first 30 minutes and 22,000 shoppers celebrated the new mall throughout the day. Throughout the ensuing years the mall has faced challenges like the sinkhole that developed beneath a children's play area and a second hole beneath an area of the Sears store in 1998. In 2009, the economic downturn led to then-owner, General Growth Properties, filling for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. It was reportedly the largest real estate bankruptcy in U.S. history at the time. The Sears store closed in late 2016, and JCPenney closed in June 2020, leaving Dillard's as the sole remaining original anchor store. After Covid there were only 40 businesses left in the mall. While the two anchor stores remain vacant, management has managed to increase the number of businesses to over 70. These include Regal 12 Cinema, the Lake Wales Bowl, with Strikes Bar and Grill, and the El Pilón Loko Puerto Rican restaurant adjacent to the food court. There is also a bounce house park play area for $12. While the mall looks like it has been through it I really loved my visit. it felt like a throwback to the 80's. There were some really unique stores and the carousel in the food court was absolutely beautiful. Where some people see a dump, I see a reminder of a simpler time. Don't write this old girl off yet.

I have always wanted to visit Forever Vintage and Surplus and I finally got the chance when my route took me near on a recent trip through Central Florida. Forever Vintage and Surplus specializes in all kinds of Disney merchandise. They sell clothing, accessories, collectibles, art, home goods, and even furniture from the resorts. There is a main room with collectibles and household goods, a smaller side room with clothing, and a warehouse with furniture and other larger items. If you are a Disney fanatic then this store is a wish your heart makes. They had amazing bags, a sparkling princess tiara, one of a kind collectibles, Christmas ornaments, fabulous Haunted Mansion merchandise, and even an Indiana Jones fedora. Prices ranged from a few dollars to many hundreds of dollars depending on the item. Service was top notch and the store smelled amazing. If you want to bring a little bit of the Disney magic home with you, this is the place to shop.

No wonder they could do it immediately. This company screams that we're a dry cleaner but... will wash n fold, but we don't want to. The person at the counter actually said that she wanted to let me know that they do charge $3 per lb as if she knew it was absorbant. I'm guessing was the discount price as I had 174lbs of clothing (father passed and I was getting washed to donate to church). She was a pleasant person and respectable as was I to her.

OVERDUE REVIEW :: I have driven past this flea market a few times but never took the time to park…read moreand walk around! So finally did. Located on 27 across by publix plaza. This flea market is also across from home depot. Next door to racetrack gas station. The surroundings is outdoor and sand / dirt when you walk around. It can get really hot and warm at times so prepare to wear sunscreen sunglasses and a hat and cool clothing. They have a few mexican trucks here serving tacos etc. I have also seen kettle corn as well. So this flea market also has indoor booths. I have seen fresh produce being sold here , vintage used items, incense sticks booth, Asian booth selling misc items from kids toys to garden gadgets etc. I have scored a precious moments figurine (used) for $1. I mostly tackle used items because they are cheap when you negotiate. I cannot say much on the food being sold here but they get busy.

Looked up local thrift shops and the flea market popped up.. To my surprise it has both indoor and outdoor vendors. They have a little bit of everything. Mostly used (it's a flea market) but some antique treasures, dishes, tools, etc... to appliances, and a pet stop with fish and birds! Honestly, if you're looking for something that you don't even know you're looking for, you might find it here. You know what they say, "one man's junk is another man's treaure". Sellers seem nice, they greet you as you walk by. If you get hungry, there's a sitting area with a few food trucks. I went at the end of the day so it wasn't filled with a lot of shoppers and some stands were even closed but it was a nice little walk around. Lots of parking available but the walk path for the outside stands is sandy so wear closed toe shoes.

What I like the most is they're not like most of the other "smoke" shops who are all about e-cig, vapor and bongs. I'm giving it 3 stars because the past couple times I've been in the walk-in humidor it didn't smell right. Maybe it needs a good cleaning. Maybe the humidity got too high and caused the odor. The prices are good enough and you're likely to find the common brands. Service has always been adequate but I know where I'm going and what I want.

I wish they had the availability to order tins or other brands, but I was told that they do not. The staff is pleasant and apologetic about the selection. I'd much rather spend my money at a local business, but it looks like I'll have to revert to ordering online as there aren't any other options in my area. Even the selection of accessories is a bit bare. Perhaps the market in this area isn't great, but offering the ability to order products and have them shipped to the store would certainly make me a loyal customer.
