Well I'm breaking that seal. A record vendor in Fort Myers told me about this when I mentioned I was staying in the Punta Gorda area for a few days. It was only fitting I pay a visit to see what's in store. So the store may not be the biggest but the fact they sell records and CDs will light up the bulbs in your shopaholic/music wandering mind. Also you can request records w/ TJ and he'll make a special order for it so it'll be at the store. Just make sure you pick it up. If not it'll just sit there. But that's how I found The Struts' Everybody Wants album just sitting around so that person's loss is my gain! Doubles as a head-shop in addition to records/CDsDVDs so lighters and other accessories are in inventory if that's your thing. Music is my thing which I'm glad they carry. Not the biggest selection but to be in the Punta Gorda/Port Charlotte area is a positive in my eyes!

There is such a large collection of books new and old that that search is so fun. They also have dvds, blurry, action figures, collectible glasses and I'm sure so much mire that I didnt see.

If youre looking for anything specific he can point you in the right collection and if they dont have it hes also willing to search for it and get it shipped in on your behalf. I think prices start at $3.99 for paperbacks and go up from there. They also take your old books in. I can't wait to try it out and will update everyone as soon as I do about the process!!

I vacationed here in Englewood once a year until we bought a permanent home here in 2011. While on vacation, I'd make many trips to the store in Venice, and when I was home in Michigan, I ordered quite frequently from the Website. I enjoy my time in the store, the atmosphere is very welcoming and the shelves are ALWAYS neat and orderly. The people who work at this store are HAPPY to assist the customers, and I can't THINK of anything that needs to be done to improve the look or atmosphere. ENORMOUS selection of books and magazines, highly recommended by me!

They are located in downtown Winter Haven, a code of blocks from the hospital. They had a parking lot and plenty of available parking on the street. I dropped into the store on Wed., late in the afternoon. Although they were busy and had a few restrings ahead of me, I explained that I was visiting and asked if he could accommodate me based on my travel situation. He said, "if you can wait around the area for a little while, I'll put a rush on the order". I decided to grab a bite at the sushi restaurant a few blocks away (keep an eye out for that review too) and after @ 30 minutes, the strings were replaced - thanks again guys! The store is stocked with a great variety of instruments, cases and accessories. The staff is extremely knowledgeable, friendly and professional. The prices were very reasonable, in fact they were half the price of what I pay in S. FL! Great experience - I highly recommend Carlton's for all of your musical instrument purchases and repairs!
