About Fast Buck Freddie's History Fast Buck Freddies Fast Buck Freddie's was founded in 1976 by Bill Conkle and Tony Falcone. The first store, located at 524 Duval (at Applerouth Lane), was geared to the early restoration crowd who discovered Key West before the tourists. FBF sold fabric, pillows, baskets, rugs, lamps and window coverings that would appeal to the chic restoration tastes. The concept was a hit and we did $22 on our first day!! Expansion soon crowded Bill & Tony out of the stock room where they were living. But they continued to shower under a hose in the backyard of the store!!!
I’m amazed at some of the negative reviews. I had such a wonderful experience there last week and plan to purchase some decorative items for our new Key West home. The sales lady could not have been more helpful. Their items are unique, gorgeous and the price points are better than online.

I'm sad to see the 1 star reviews of this store. It is amazing! So many unique home goods items. Where KW lacks, this store fits the bill. Salesperson Amy so friendly. I can't wait to go back. In fact, I'm going again today!

Beautiful selection, just a little pricey. But for those who have it, shopping here will be fun.
