The back wall, stock room the ceiling and above the meat cooler is full of mold. Not to mention thick brown grease slides the walls. This place has not had a working exhaust fan for months. The owners will change the dates on meats and Cubans. Will not allow dates to be places on deli items such as potato salad, banana puddings. Meat, bad meat, pulled from meat case, stored in the deli for the next day to use as lunch. Food cooked, served In a hot bar, then saved for next day or days. Owners will run the register, then serve you food with out taking the time to wash their hands. Serving food to customers with no hair nets and a baby hanging off of a hip.

Cobbwebbs everywhere. The feed shed smells of urine and rotting rats. Feed bags and hay are covered with feces.. and rat droppings. Their baby chews and slobbers on items that are put back on the shelf for sale. Owners are clueless and RUDE. They talk bad bout anyone and everyone. Definitely NOT helping the community with anything. Say they are not ' A charity" Highest prices around.. bad meat, rotten food, rude owners, and if you mention how high the prices are, they will tell you to go and not come back. The only reason they have had any success in staying open is due to the employees they have or had who stood with them, helped them, showed them and worked extra hard for that local business owner. Only to have them treat employees like trash. What they don't realize is that Norma and Jr. Are the actual back bone of Fowlers. But they treat them like they are nobody's. How's that for your friendly, working man's neighborhood grocery store.

We would ride our bikes down there to buy Coca-Cola for five cents a bottle out of a big icebox on the porch and when we finished our cokes we could sell the bottle back for a 2 cent refund.

That's especially true if you're dragging along a couple of screaming munchkins that need to stretch their legs and have some ice-cream! Backstory- Back in the day, that would be 1935, Steve Maxwell was a big-time citrus grower. He had over 100 acres and opened this quaint little store to showcase his fruit and the packing house behind it to process it. Today, Steve is getting on in years and has leased this quaint country store to some fine folks from Frostproof. Atmosphere- An old-fashioned front porch with rocking chairs for enjoying the Florida weather. An immaculate old-style interior will all manner of citrus based food and paraphernalia. One of the highlights is orange ice-cream! Grab some, sit in the rockers and let the stress fall away. The little ankle-biters will love it! In season, this is the place to ship Florida citrus to friends and relatives. Just this last December they shipped over 600 boxes! If you are in the area, grab a meal in tiny Avon Park.

This little store is not that way. It is always clean and everything is logically placed. The drinks are cold, they have a ice machine on site and bag their own so when you get ice it's not a giant clumped together cube. The staff, no matter when you go, is always friendly helpful and most importantly treat you like they appreciate your business, a rare thing these days. I will drive to this store rather than to stop by one I'm passing. The only thing I wish they had is gas. But for everything else this is the place to go.

Good little store, only problem isthey been baught out by Sweetbay and the prices went up.read more
