Opened in 2016, Magpies Modern General Store is a woman owned business located in historic downtown…read moreSanford. It is on the first floor of the 1887 building built for Frederick Hotchkiss. For many years this building was the Manuel Jacobson's Department Store. Magpies Modern General Store offers a changing selection of carefully curated items representative of Florida and Sanford. It reminds me of Etsy. They have a build a bouquet felt flower bar, beauty items, jewelry, sweet children's toys, stationary, hats, socks, candles, bags, and more. I loved the alligator and Florida Christmas tree ornaments, grab and go sensory dough, and an intricate model of a cafe. There were surprises and delights on every table and in every corner. If you like the unique you will want to stop into Magpies Modern General Store where you can pick out a gift that will be truly appreciated or that special treat for yourself.

Triple Goddess Treasures delivers in the area that Sanford is lacking. I assume everyone shopping in Sanford would know about Triple Goddess Treasures and make it one of their destinations; however, it seems this great little shop is overshadowed by all the activity on Sanford Ave. Triple Goddess Treasures is located at the intersection of Sanford Avenue and 5th street (across from Shantell's) and carries a variety of accessories such as bags, belts, hats; apparel including swimwear, jumpsuits, pajamas, outerwear, pants, and tops; bath & beauty supplies; divination tools like sage and precious stones; and a variety of beautiful jewelry. I love the Bohemian Vibe and all the handmade items utilizing beadwork. Some of their custom beaded bags, straps, hats, and dresses are simply amazing! The Mother Daughter team who owns and operates the store is friendly, welcoming, and helpful. If you are in Sanford and looking for that unique gift or shopping experience you can find nowhere else, then check out Triple Goddess Treasures. You will not regret it.

I love this little antique store! So much to see and it always brings back fond childhood memories…read more The Treehouse Antiques is one of my first stops to take mom when she is visiting. She loves this place and usually finds several items to purchase while shopping. On my most recent visit I found a Corning Ware Coffee Pot ($89.95). It's probably the only piece she doesn't have in the set but she said she could get it cheaper; my mom, she loves to wheel and deal. She said "I got the tea pot though." I have to admit this place is packed full of stuff and can be a tight squeeze through the isles when its busy and can feel somewhat claustrophobic at times but its still worth the stop when shopping in downtown Sanford. I noticed since my last visit, it has become a bit more cluttered in here, one of the isles was packed with so much stuff you couldn't walk down it; work in progress, I guess? Some highlights on this visit were the collection of beautifully decorated music boxes, the Vaseline and Amber Nilotus Glass, the variety of vintage glass and stained-glass lamps, Corning Ware items, the glass fuel lamps, vintage clothing - blazers and hats, the variety of wall art, jewelry, watches, pocket knives, the Flea World shopping bags, and so much more. Staff here are always friendly and helpful; pricing is moderate to high in my opinion. My only complaint is that it can feel crowded in here especially when its busy and it can be a major problem if you're with someone who has a disability, there is literally no way you can get in here with a wheel chair or walker. Other than that, I highly recommend shopping here while visiting Sanford.

I have been to this antique store multiple times thru our the years and every time I come here I…read moreseem to think they are adding more and more stuff. Most business in this area are doing Christmas in July, I notice a lot of items here were on sale. The place is full of so much stuff from lamps to hot wheel cars to hats there is just so much you can find here. Four stars because of it was hot in there and two the place has so much stuff it's hard to see everything when it's not to organized. I like supporting local business so if I find something interesting I will buy it from here, also This business has a second floor with more stuff. They even have some kid toys here.

This awful experience starts when I had a 1:00pm appointment, which I arrived on time for. But when…read moreI got there she was no where to be seen. I called and received no response, having already paid a $50 down payment I waited for 30 minutes before she finally decided to call me back and request to change the appointment to 3:00pm. Having already paid $50, I agreed. However, when I got there at 3:00pm, this lady still wasn't there! It wasn't until around 4:15pm that she arrived. When she did get there she was busy filming a video for whatever reason instead of taking care of my hair. She was outside dancing and singing, when I've still gotten nothing done to my hair at this point. When she finally came inside to do her job , which at this point it's 4:30, she looked me right in the eyes and told me it would be $500. I said absolutely not! She knew $500 was ridiculous because after the justified shocked look on my face she lowered it down to $350. Like that's any less ridiculous. What makes matters worse, when we spoke on the phone she told me that my hair could be done for $180 then wanted to switch it to $180 and up. But not only was this experience a waste of time, it was also a bullet dodged. When speaking with a friend about this experience, she mentioned that she went to the same salon where this woman put GLUE in her hair. Which caused her edges to fall out. This was overall a frustrating and horrible experience. I would not recommend this salon to you or anyone I know. If it were possible, I would give this place 0 stars.

Great customer service, great items, and great sale prices! Don't sleep on this place. I visit…read morehere often and mind you it's not in the best part of town. As a matter of fact when you walk into this store, you'll definitely feel this store would belong in the Altamonte Mall, for real for real. Clean and very well organized store. Their customer service is very good, better than a lot of mall locations. Every employee generally is friendly and willing to help. I love the sale items. I've compared prices to other mall locations and this store will definitely save you some money. I came to purchase a pair of Adidas and only paid $29.99 while on sale. The next follow week I went to the mall and the same pair were $69.99. Boy, was I happy! They offer great prices, especially for kid sizes so please stop by and take a look. Also I recommend to sign up for frequent shopping rewards. I also wanted to give heads up to their protocols when trying on items, very smart and observant I am. I would recommend all other stores to do the same thing!

I found 73 Moto while enjoying an event in downtown Sanford. 73 Moto is located in the same…read morebuilding as Unfurl Collection. Unfurl used to take up this entire space, but has reduced their footprint and given up a section of the interior to 73 Moto. 73 Moto carries some higher-end motorcycle supplies geared towards the vintage and café racer motorcycle enthusiasts. I have never heard of some of the brands they carry such as, Holy Freedom Leather Jackets, Hedon, Fuel Motorcycle, Deus Ex Machina, Vallon, and Atwyld. The gear here is really nice; however, almost everything in the store does not have a price tag on it. The day I visited was the same day as the annual Volkswagen car show; there was no employee on site to talk to about their items and prices. I briefly talked to the bartender at the Basin (pop-up bar) to see if she had any feedback, but she said she didn't know anything about the business. I did go online to 73 Moto's website to check out some of their items. Their Holy Freedom leather jackets are running $550.00, very cool, but very expensive. Their Fuel FXS Leather Jackets are running $605.00, Damn! Their Hedon - Heroin Racer Stable Black helmet is $800.00, which is quite pricey when you can buy the same helmet from Hedon for $650.00, Yikes! I like the store but after looking at 73 Moto's online pricing, It might be best for me to shop for this gear online somewhere else or stick with Cycle Gear. If you are looking for very nice gear with a vintage/café racer look at a premium price than 73 Moto might just be the place for you. It looks like these guys are just starting out, so I will give them the benefit of the doubt that they will bring in more affordable items in the future. If you are in the area definitely stop in to check them out, but my advice to you is to price check some of the items online before making a purchase here because you might be able to save some serious dough.

On this day, the friendly woman at the front was making sure there weren't too many people in the store and once inside, the staff was helpful in helping us find things we were looking for. They had some pretty cool face masks (think leather look and zippers and general ribaldry) and a lot of rock band T-Shirts.
