The area itself is a little old and run down so, I was honestly skeptical. However, I was pleasantly surprised. We were greeted immediately upon walking in. And not a fake one, a genuine Welcome. The store was organized and clean, different from the other location I usually visit. Our check out experience was quick and the cashier was friendly. This store is equidistant from the Tarpon store to our house; we will be coming here instead.

I haven't been to this location in about three years due to the fact I ordered some furniture on sale and it was a complete disaster. Customer service here is not their specialty. I might also add that the furniture is now starting to fall apart, so just know you have about a three-year life span on a few of their sectional pieces. When I came to the nearby TJ Maxx recently to look for a few shirts they weren't open yet so I popped into Big Lots to see if they had anything that was worthwhile. The store just felt dirty and there was shit everywhere. It kind of reminded me of Ross, Walmart, and Lowe's in one store. I found most of the items were priced normally and a few items were a dollar or two cheaper than your traditional big box store.

It's almost laughable that we couldn't find what we were hunting for but still bought stuff. I love Homegoods because of the crazy finds- but be sure you're not spending too much. Most of their items are reasonable, some is over priced IMO. But it's always fun to hunt-shop here. I say hunt, because of the scattered, random displays and shelves. You have to attempt to look everywhere- because there isn't always a rhyme or reason for how the shelves are stocked. Enjoy!

Not too big but definitely beautiful pieces and decorations. The only thing that overshadowed the visit was the heavy fragrance in the store. A lot of people love it when they come in, I had a friend praising specifically praising the wonderful smell in the store, but for me personally it's too much and very thick fragrance. The people at the cashier and who worked there were very nice and attentive. Definitely appreciated the care. Beautiful store.

OH... HECK YEAH! La…read moreFrance in Ybor City is easily one of my most favorite shops in Tampa, period, and I do not say that lightly... The 2nd you walk in, you feel like you have entered a world where normal rules do not apply ....self expression is not just allowed, it is a demand.. There is absolutely no way you are leaving this store without something you adore because the selection is outrageous. Period gowns, corsets, dramatic top hats, Cuban shirts, feathers, faux diamonds, canes, statement jackets, wild accessories, and all the extra embellishments that make an outfit go from basic to unforgettable are packed into every corner. You almost have to take a full tour before committing to anything because your brain needs a minute to process how much fabulousness is happening all at once. What makes it even better is that you do not need a special occasion to justify being here. Yes, it is perfect for girls nights, boys nights, bachelor and bachelorette parties, themed events, and any moment that requires drama, but there are also pieces you can absolutely wear during the day if you are someone who refuses to blend into the background. You can find shirts and standout clothing that work beyond costume energy if you have the personality to match them. This shop succeeds where so many others have tried and failed because it does not feel cheap, thrown together, or gimmicky. It feels intentional, confident, and fully committed to its aesthetic. La France understands that fashion should be fun and expressive, not safe and forgettable. If you are in Tampa and you have not walked into La France, you are missing one of the most entertaining retail experiences in the city. Go see it for yourself, try things on, let yourself have a moment, and do not be surprised when you walk out smiling with something bold in your hands or wearing the outfit of your dreams!

After 2 min I found what I needed and got in line to pay for it. When I heard a mad lady from the cashier yelling:DO NOT LET THIS LADY HOLDING THE BABY PAY UNTIL HER HUSBAND MOVE THE CAR! Everybody looked at me. I felt so embarrassed and ashamed. I left the store with my head down holding my baby. I had no idea my husband was still waiting for me in front of the store. She could've just come to me and asked for my husband to move the vehicle. This person is so rude and unprofessional. She does not deserve a job at a Dollar Tree store or anywhere else.

A coffee table book of artworks in Ybor City for my friend who loves the area. In great condition and reasonably priced. Awesome. And then I spotted two science fiction books for me that are going onto my shelves. I also bought a bookplate that was in a display at the counter. Eek, $15. But worth it to customize my gift which the very nice young lady put into a bag with some tissue paper to make "gift". Awesome service. Fabulous stuff and that's just the books. There's also all sorts of other vintage and unique antique items on sale. Definite opportunity for gifts and light decor. [Round number review 15800 overall - 1380 in Florida - 1304 of 2021.]

I've been into the shop a couple times; the first time was in their opening week. The owner (I'm…read morenot sure of her name) is so friendly and really loves her collection. This past Shop Small Saturday, I visited with 4 other people and her shop was (safely) bustling. I found a record for $1 outside and I did not have any cash - instead of having me use my card for a buck, she gave me the record for free. These types of small things make people come back and bring other people with them. This is a gem of a store (located just a couple blocks from where I used to live) in Seminole Heights. Check it out and spend some time finding some cool vintage treasures like books, records and furniture.

Never been to one of these and I was happy to see it here when we pulled in to go to the Asian market. Nicely laid out store. We had fun walking around and pushing the buttons on all of the scary displays. Some of them were super creepy and I can't wait until we can buy some of these for our yard one day! The employees were nice and asked us if we needed help a lot and directed us to the dressing rooms. Lots of costumes and masks, along the same lines as Party City. They also had fun Halloween party supplies, face paint/makeup, costume accessories, and props. We were able to find a costume for our son that he was happy with and didn't cost us an arm and a leg--because seriously, he will only wear it maybe 2-3 times and then it's done with.
