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.

It's alright, been coming here since I was a kid. Few new stores pop every so often. Food court…read morestarting to get full but still needs more. They do got a few attractions from carousel to the movies. Definitely worth a visit!!

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.

This review is for the Deluxe Seafood Salad and the Meat Department…read more I have tried other grocery store brand Seafood Salad - and by far Publix have the best tasting one. You cannot taste the "mayo" it has a slight sweet taste to the "mayo" cream in it. You can barely taste the tangy taste of the mayo. This is a deluxe seafood salad so it has more than Krab meat (surimi) - It has baby shrimps in it along with bits of celery. Slight of bits of red onions but barely in there. But the taste of this seafood salad is delicious. Its great paired with crackers and eat it like a dip. As far as the meat department - I come here often for steaks, pork chops, pork ribs. The meat selection here and the taste for me is better than Costco. It is pricier because its not bulk but the taste and quality makes up for it. They offer butcher slicing when requested. I often ask for this service for ribs that I need cut through the bones to cook for stews or soups. They only lack customer service in the meat butcher area depends on who is the butcher. But most of the time - They offer kind services for your request.

So came to the sushi location at 6:30 and asked kindly if they were making anymore California rolls…read moreand the guy said nope even though they weren't closed and didn't care to offer. His attitude was that of... don't care, leave me alone and don't bother me. They love to overcharge at Publix but the one thing my daughter enjoys from Publix is their California rolls. Will be the last time I shop at this rude, I don't care location which by the way sells expired Kraft Mac and cheese boxes. Publix loves to charge 2-3 times the price for items that are expired. I would give 0 stars if I could but yelp doesn't care to allow for the real reviews

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.

6/27/2023 JEWELRY EXPRESS HAS ALL TYPES OF JEWELRY OR THEY…read moreCAN ORDER EXACTLY WHAT TYPES OF JEWELRY YOU ARE LOOKING FOR. The reason I gave them 5***** (5 STARS) is because I have been buying jewelry for myself and all members of my family for 15+ years. Buying real jewelry online is not safe. For example; it may say 14 kt gold; but it is hollow NOT SOLID GOLD. However, the price is a SOLID GOLD PRICE. I am 70 years old and I no longer buy jewelry on cruises, online or any other jewelry store. I was ripped off and you can not return on cruises or countries you visited for a few hours. SAVE TIME & MONEY, ALWAYS SHOP AT JEWELRY EXPRESS. NANCY P.-LAKE ASHTON 55+ COMMUNITY, LAKE WALES, FL 33859

This review is for the watch battery and repairs…read more Very good service for a great price. My parents always go here for their watch batteries and repair services. Jewelry Express is located inside the Eagle Ridge Mall, next to the Dillard's (or JCPenney, I forget which). I took in two of their watches and was out in less than fifteen minutes. That's some speedy service! Better yet, though, their batteries are always good quality and last for awhile. I've only seen my parents take in their batteries once a year (and, sometimes, not even that often). There are other places that charge higher prices, and have lower quality batteries (I'm talking about you, Sears.). I paid only $17.00 for both watches. The owners were both there and the girl at the counter was very polite and friendly. I definitely recommend this place for repairs.

VISION CENTER- I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS WALMART VISION…read moreCENTER!!! My husband and I are visiting from Michigan. The band/arm on my glasses seemed to be broken. I had bought them at LensCrafters in Michigan, so we decided to take them to the closest Lens Crafters which was about an hour drive from where we were. The lady was very rude and told me "we don't repair here". She had been in the back on her cell phone (we could directly see her)...She Handed me my glasses and walked away. We had to go to Walmart for a couple other things, so I decided to stop into the Vision Center to see if they could possibly help. Rachel looked at my glasses and knew in a second exactly what was wrong! She told me a part had fallen out and if I could find it, they could fix it! It was a tiny part so I wasn't hopeful. Daniel, the manager asked if he could take a look. He told me if I bought an "O" ring in a hardware department, I could slip it over the arm and it could buy me some time until I could fix it properly or until we made it back home. He didn't try to convince me to buy a new pair, they didn't turn me away and they both we SUPER KIND & HELPFUL! This encouraged my husband to ponder getting our next glasses at WM! GREAT JOB RACHEL & DANIEL!!! Thank you for AMAZING CUSTOMER SERVICE! I ended up finding the part and came back! Daniel was able to fix my glasses!
