came in today looking for a few good books and some kitchen gadget. I approached and employee by…read morethe name of Damon who was absolutely useless. I asked home where can I find a book I was looking for and he immediately said I don't know not my department. this is not the type of customer service that should be happening. the line was super long and instead of him coming to assist on the register he acted like no one was around! why are not all employees trained to operate a register. Ollie's figure this out.

Ollie's advertises irregulars, closeouts, bargains, buyouts, off-season seasonal items, etc. Having…read morea look around the store, I didn't see anything that jumped out at me as to being such a good deal. The few prices that I was able to check on what I would normally pay seemed pretty close. If you know your prices, and you know what you want, and you find something that you would normally buy anyway, Ollie's could be a good place to stock up. Otherwise it's just like a jumble sale. Be prepared to be bombarded by Ollie's advertising on the walls and over the PA system.

During our visit, there was a couple present with no kids of their own, just observing the children. Sadly, in today's world, you can't be too careful. It was also concerning to see so many parents distracted by their phones instead of enjoying the moment and keeping an eye on their kids. Predators can use other children to lure yours in, so stay aware. This can be a safe and fun space, but only if we all do our part to protect our children.

Come here if you want to go on a pirate cruise, rent a jet ski, or go parasailing. Also stop by for icecream, drinks, or whichever meal you want. Restaurants are corporations or mom and pop run places. I prefer mom and pop, but choose whatever tickles your fancy. Need souvenirs? John's Pass has got you covered. Looking for cigars? Check. Looking for an alligator experience? Upstairs. Want a Dick's Last Resort? Gotcha. Just a few steps off the boardwalk. Need candy or wine? Look no further than John's Pass. You can easily find anything and everything you need here. The vibe is laid back and fun. Just be careful not to overspend... very easy to do here! Enjoy.

Johns pass is a cool lil tourist spot. Even if you live here it is cool to come to once in a while…read more Parking is a bit difficult and expensive. Some of the places are still gone from the hurricanes and fires upstairs. They really did a great job building some of it back up. The rent here is high for the store owners so the prices are a bit high for the customers. Being on the water is great too. The pirate ship the sunset cruise. And just hanging at the sandbar is alot of fun. Check it out you wont be disappointed. Johns pass was created by an extreme hurricane a very long time ago and now it is home.

Stopped in the night before we flew out and got some shirts and a hoodie. They had some really…read morenice-looking clothes and prices were not too bad for the area. The bad part is when we got home. The following day, I put on one of the hoodies, and it literally started coming apart at the seams. After wearing it for an hour with nothing in the pocket, half the seams had come apart. I tried to contact the store through their site, but nobody ever got back to me. So here we are. From the pics, you can see the extent of the unraveling. May be better off just looking and not buying next time.

Mulligan's Plaza is a small strip area literally just across the bridge from St. Pete Beach/…read moreTreasure Island area. It has a random mix of businesses- a few restaurants, a website design company, nail salon & piano shop. Besides the restaurants & nail salon, most of them are open just during the week so if you wanted to visit more of the storefronts coming on the weekend is a no-go. It's a nice plaza and well-kept. One of the restaurants has a huge patio looking out on the water which offers some gorgeous views.

The staff are helpful, friendly, scary, and sometimes hit on you (provided you look as good as I do). Here's the Skinny: The good: Great deals to be had. $3 dvd's. $5 Blu-Ray's, $6 Physician's Formula makeup, groceries at half-off or more, dog treats, toilet paper, and much more. The bad: Sometimes stuff is past the expiration date. Note: WAY past the expiration date. I found some stuff that expired in 2009. Avoid that stuff unless you are trying to pull a 'Shad-yogurt' scheme a-la Striptease. The skinny: Fun people, good prices, enough soda to make Mayor Bloomberg have a stroke.
