While this place was an era for us, we've found better stores in the Sarasota area that are way more friendly, knowledgeable, and love their regulars. I will not be coming back here, consider spending your money elsewhere.

If you have a bride in your life, come check out their bridal party, wedding shower, and couples gifts! If you're searching for a souvenir this place goes beyond the tacky screen printed T-shirt places and has truly unique items. I always try to find my postcard for the trip and I found a huge selection that wasn't a basic beach pic with "siesta key" slapped on it with the help of a paint app. I will be returning before my trip wraps up to buy a few more items.

Polina was great. Helpful when we asked for four shirts for my son. She pulled two different sizes…read moreoff the shelves to hold up to him for sizing. We pick the better size then asked for two of each color. She grabbed all four, rung us up, we paid, then we went home. As I am getting them out of the store bag to wash, that is when I notice one of the four is for the wrong school. Oh just perfect. An exchange will have to wait as we are 40 minutes away. Then I meet Jacqueline. On the day of the return I explain that I just need the right school shirt, an easy fix. An honest mistake was made, but we can make this right within minutes. I am given a hard time, asking am I sure this was the location I got the shirts and did I not check them when I pulled them off the shelf. When I explained the staff member helped me. Stating that as she works here, she was looking through the shirts with me to find the right size and school, she is the one to grab the shirts so I did not question her choices. Jacqueline scoffs at me when I say this. My face must have said "excuse me", as that is when Jacqueline stated she wasn't giving me a hard time. Seriously? She was actively giving me a hard time. She started to become rude, more aggressive in her words and a shift in her stance, until she looked up and remembered that someone was setting up a table in front where the school shirts were and watching our interaction. All of a sudden she makes a comment about how I was not remembering my visit correctly with a fake laugh, but then stated since I just want to exchange the item she can do this for me. As if this was my fault, but out of the goodness of her heart she will help me out. At $30 a shirt, low quality material (you can see through the polo shirts), and rude employees, I hope next year the school does not stay here and goes elsewhere. 19.10.2025
