I love this store for many reasons:…read more the vibes are high. some of the first things I saw were religious based /Catholic items. followed by some trendy "witchy" things, and even a section for African spirituality. no one was left out. all things were positive and high-spirited, nothing sinister or cold. the staff is great! my 11-year-old son and I were warmly welcomed in... the kind of welcome that is not always extended to kids in crystal stores. he was even offered a free choice from the loose stone bin. the staff was kind; friendly & attentive, but not overbearing. the prices are fair. I got a little brass bowl, a loose, bulk type specimen, a nice sized specialty stone, and a very large display piece -- free candies, cute fortunes, and tiny freebie stones at the register -- for less than $250. I was happy with my purchase and my entire shopping experience. the selection is phenomenal. there are crystals at every price point from just a few dollars on up to the hundreds. a vast selection of tarot cards, statues, jewelry, incense... there is something for everyone. I bet no one walks out empty handed and I also bet no one regrets their purchase or ever feels like they were ripped off. we are tourists from California but we would visit Downtown Sarasota again, and if/when I do, this store would be among my first stops. five stars across the board.

I call Wednesday because I've received no communication about it. Was told it would be in Friday. Friday comes and goes with no call. Saturday i called, finally spoke to a guy named Kevin. He refunds me for it. Today at 8 am i get a call from them telling me its now in. Apparently the owner/manager doesn't speak to his employees about it. She tells me are you sure its refunded i tell her to have the owner/manager call me. I might have uttered a bad word because i was frustrated. I hang up. Two hours later i'm on the phone trying to get services set up for my disabled son when they were calling me again. I apologized to kevin for the bad word. Instead of accepting said apology i get raked over the coals over it. Keeps telling me about it. Sir, you are not my parent and you need to learn forgiveness. Even Jesus learned how to forgive. Kevin should try forgiveness. It might do wonders for his business, especially when amazon sells the same books he does for half the price. Amazon doesn't care if i say a bad word.

I visited because I heard that on Friday from 4-7 PM local Christian musicians got together. I ordered tea, asked one of the staff, but she didn't know. I waited for 1/2 hour and no musicians, so I left. I emailed the owner, but she never returned my email. Rude Christians with no business savvy whatsoever. Number 1 reason why, in spite of all the refurbishing of Downtown, with businesses such as this "Christian" store, Lake Wales Downtown will continue to be a dump.
