Charitable organizations are an integral part of many cities and towns and these fine folks do…read moregreat work in my area. They focus on helping adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities and do a super job. As part of their fund-raising efforts, they run numerous ARC Resale locations where they resell donated goods and it's the Avon Park resale location that I'm reviewing today. My mother recently passed away and I had a need to donate a great deal of stuff she had accumulated over 94 years of life. I chose these folks Arriving- It's right on Main Street about a minute from US Route 27 and it's a snap to find. Parking is simple. Donating- Easy peasy! The customer service folks explained clearly what they could take and why they didn't except certain items. It was painless and quick. Shopping- Let's assume you've been to other places that sell donations. This place is clean and organized like the competitors. The staff is just fine. Pricing- Unfortunately I'm deducting One star as they seem to price higher than all the competitors. They make up for that a bit by having selected days with discounts like Seniors Day etc. However, the standard pricing, in my opinion, needs to be adjusted. Conclusion- Even with the pricing blip this is a fine organization doing good work and the store is worth a look, especially on discounted days!

If you live in Highlands County, a smart decision would be to buy your furniture from these fine…read morefolks! But wait; there are two ways to experience them in Avon Park! This is a review of the Outlet Center. A couple of miles south on Route 27 is their main showroom. There you have all the glitz and glamour and incredible variety. I have been there many times. Here is much different. It's a giant box of a warehouse surrounded by a barbed wire fence. Here the glitz and glamour go down, the variety goes down and the prices go way way down! You will also see some used furniture here. One thing that stays the same is excellent customer service! Everyone is always a pleasure to work with. If you are new to these folks, I'd recommend you stop by both locations and then make an informed decision. In either case, I suspect you'll be pleased!

Quite a surprise for teeny tiny Avon Park! The college has an enormous campus here with dozens of…read morebuildings. Read on for why you should visit. Location- With so many buildings it can be a little overwhelming. Let your GPS do its thing along with the picture I posted, and you'll have no trouble spotting it. Plenty of easy parking. Time Commitment- This is a small museum. Ninety minutes and most folks will be done. What to Expect- As the name suggests, expect the focus to be on Florida including the artists. It's a great way to learn about this wonderful state! Cost- Every time I have been here it has been free with donations requested. Hours- Extremely limited. Check first before you go. This is not a "Destination" location. It's the kind of place you visit when you are in the area and have a few minutes. Yelp will give you plenty of places for lunch within five minutes of here. What a great place to walk off that huge platter of Gator Bites & giant pitcher of beer!

They all support the homeless and other disadvantaged folks, and I wholeheartedly support that! I stop by once in a while to buy a thing or two not because I need it but to show my support. Over the years I have noticed a couple of things that distinguish this store from the others- 1. The people working here, I believe mostly volunteers, appear to be just a notch nicer and more helpful. Kudos to whoever is choosing and training them! 2. The prices here are mostly lower than the others, especially on clothing and glassware. Several of my friends say the same! 3. They work really hard to keep the sales floor clean and tidy! I hope my fellow Yelpers, especially those who live locally, take a little time to support these fine 5-star folks!

Regardless of what you're looking for it seems to me they would have an employee that would be able to take care of you. They all have their specialties and are more than willing to work with one another. They make you feel extremely comfortable and take great pride in their work!

My long-time other half holds the Master Gardener designation and is a judge at the world famous, Philadelphia Flow Show! When she talks about Caladiums, folks pay attention and she says order here! Location- Their Home Office/Operations Center/Wearhouse/Gardens is here in my teeny tiny town. If you are not a wholesaler, it's really not a place to visit. Customer Service- You order online and I usually do the ordering, and their site is organized, informative and quick. I've never had an order screwed up or damaged, so customer service is spot on. Product- Every variety you can think of and beautifully organized. See my picture. Much better variety than the big-box stores or garden centers. What you'll be ordering are nicely packaged bulbs. You'll be pleased at the prices. Special Note- If you really love these plants, every July, there is a Caladium Festival in beautiful Lake Placid, Florida. It's a big deal and a great time is had by all. https://www.caladiumfestival.org/ Conclusion- If you want to beautify your home with these gorgeous plants, this is your stop!

Excellent breeding, no other privately held company in America is performing any caladium breeding. They are the best, because they breed for color, vigor, and disease resistance. They produce caladiums for sun and shade. These are not your grandmothers' caladiums! One thing to remember this is farming. So, whatever is happening under the soil, no one know until harvest. There could be crop failure, lower yields based on weather or bumper crops. They never know until they dig. I say all that to say this, if you've had issues in the past, call them up, ask questions and they'll work through any issues. I am a happy customer!!
