“I live half the year on Longboat Key and this is my absolute favorite store. At the Chart House location I usually shop with Debbie, the owner. She is excellent at knowing what will work for ones body and knows quickly ones taste. The home accessories feature Alessi and the Italian designs are both sophisticated and humorous. There scarf collection is alone worth the trip and their cashmere doesn't pill and luxurious to wear. The clothes selection is extensive, beautiful and unusual--- no department brands here. Lastly, Debbie's husband creates the artwork in the and it's quirky and executed beautifully.”
“I can’t say enough about their exceptional customer service! I live in Japan and even though Patricia Locke is retired, they have corresponded with me to get my earrings designed by her repaired. Their staff have been very accommodating and responsive. Amazing!”
“Super cool store with local art and vintage goods. For people who also missed the Sea Hagg, the owner has an area in a back building! The staff here are also super nice and helpful.”
“I went into Just Because looking for a gift and I found so much more. Barbara was so welcoming and nice! I found the most perfect gift. I'd recommend to anyone looking for a unique gift for a special occasion or Just Because”
“I was looking for someone who could take my 30 year old Pulaski curio cabinet and bring it back to life. There are hardly any artists out there who can bring the furniture we love back to a beautiful life. After much searching, I found Jeannie at Saw Blossom in Bradenton Florida. She is a true artist who takes great pride in her work and strives to provide her best work and impress you with her talent. She worked with me and invited me to her shop to be sure I would be more than satisfied with her work every step of the way. I highly recommend Jeannie and Bill at SawBlossom. Bill will return your favorite furniture looking like they were just delivered off the showroom floor. You can trust in Saw Blossom. I’m so glad that I did.”
“I LOVE the Market Boutique!! I always find something when I enter the store. I also love Jennifer !!! Her personality is always so helpful and contagious !?”
“Just as I told Norm (Gulf Auto Glass owner) when he got into his van to drive away after replacing my windshield I would have given him a SIX star review if I could have. My car is a 2025 VW Atlas with all the bells and whistles which included a camera in the mirror that shows what’s happening around the car while I’m driving it. It ISNT a simple windshield that could be simplybswapped out. It’s very complex. Norm and the man working with him made the whole job look like a piece of cake. You want it done right? Call Norm. You’ll be very glad you did. I was.”
“Amazing furniture- high end - high quality . Great stuff too for smaller spaces too that need more room yet also need storage and elegance - modern styles yet could be ecclectic too - the people are fabulous on all fronts”
“This place is so awesome. It's the only place like this in Sarasota or Tampa They have great prices too. This my favorite clothing store and I've bought several pieces of artwork here too!! :)”
“Kim and team did an amazing job on guiding me on design and installing deck screens for my home. A new build modern and their attention to detail to match everything and work with a challenging layout was just incredible. End product is awesome and looks and functions amazing. I would highly recommend 3/8 and Co. and so did my builder.”
“We bought our lamp and rug from Max last year and fell in love with it. Not only was Max so incredibly kind and loving, but we make sure to stop by every year we are in town to say hello and see what treasures he has to offer. This year we bought 4 beautiful plates to hang in our kitchen! Can't wait to see the final look. Make sure to stop by when you are looking at all the shops in St. Armands Circle, by far the best in our opinion.”
“Fun little store, my wife loves this place, nice sized barn full of cool furniture some antiques one of a kind pieces, and a store next to the barn full of jewelry, soaps, handbags , lotions etc. etc.”
“We found the perfect pieces to complete our living room wall! We spent almost 9 months, trying to figure out what to do with the wall, and it only took us one time visiting our shop to find all the pieces we needed. The owner was very friendly and we are definitely going back for more projects that we have to finish around the house!”
“Fantastic store with many top name pieces. Everything looked brand new we were told they get a lot of staging and model home pieces from local designers. We found a great sectional.”
“I love Joan Peters work! Her traditional style is well done. And her experimental work is exciting. It’s not the same old thing! She mixes striking images of people in a loose and vibrant style!!”
“What an amazing shop! Jodi was so helpful and super nice.. had the product I was looking for from FarmHouse Fresh- she offers an in-store discount if you shop through her.. I will be returning!”
“We LOVE this little boutique in our little town of Ellenton! I can always pop in & find a gift for any of my female family or friends, or myself 😊 So glad they're here. If you haven't shopped there, definitely put it on your list!”
“Such a cute boutique with a great selection of neutral-colored clothing that’s stylish and easy to wear. The staff was friendly and welcoming, which made the shopping experience even better.”
“Thank you Janet at M&M Wallcoverings for the work you've done at my parents' home. The after-installation care and customer service you have provided has been excellent and very much appreciated. The Hunter Douglas motorized shades are worth their price!”
“Absolutely amazing experience! I’m very happy with my purchase. The salesman was extremely friendly, helpful, and professional. He took the time to answer all my questions and made the entire process easy and comfortable. The delivery was also excellent — very fast, on time, and handled with great care. The furniture looks beautiful and the quality is great. From the moment I walked in until the furniture was delivered, everything was smooth and professional. I highly recommend this furniture store to anyone looking for great furniture, great prices, fast delivery, and excellent customer service. I will definitely be coming back!”
“My favorite home and clothing store! Nicole is amazing and the store is perfectly designed that makes you want everything. All the products she carries are luxurious and elevates my home. Love it !”
“Great selection , quality and price. It’s family owned and they go the extra mile to serve! We are so happy with our purchases. Check it out! Jaime is a gem.”
“We have purchased many beautiful one of a kind made in Italy items, glasses, fish, hand blown pitchers, and more. Always conversation starters in our home. Customer service is over the top. We are incredibly pleased with all our items!”
“All the staff were extremely friendly and the store is very well priced. I found exactly what I was looking for. Lots of Fenton and uranium glass in almost every booth. Thank you for the great experience!”
“Choosing lighting is a difficult task. Andreys, my lighting consultant at Lyteworks, went above and beyond.. Beyond showing me what was in the showroom he scoured the various manufacturers to find what was best for me and my new home. Andreys went that extra mile. He made sure that what I was getting would fit the best as well as be the look and quality that I wanted. While there are plenty of lighting stores in the Sarasota Bradenton area, I would never go anywhere but LyteWorks. They have an amazing selection and they have people like Andreys. I shopped a variety of stores that were both higher end and lower end, it didn’t matter what store I went to I never found anyone who was as helpful and caring. If you need lighting, LyteWorks is the place to go. You will not be sorry.”
“I’ve purchased several items here for my screened in pool area and have been very happy with the quality and prices of the items purchased. The owner is a great person to do business with and I highly recommend this place.”
“I was in need of an item that had already been to three different Home Goods stores. I called and was helped by Loretta! She was super helpful and was able to find the exact the chairs I was looking for right away. It was great receiving this type of customer service at such an amazing store!”
“What a find! Oh, a boutique that offers locally sourced or made products. I love having little gifts on hand that are specific to the area, they're always more special than a generic gift from a major retailer. I picked up some adorable, handmade jewelry for a coworker's birthday. Honestly, I can see myself coming here for all of my small gift giving needs.”
“We recently had the pleasure of working with Barbara Hardy, and it was a truly outstanding experience. Their professionalism and clear communication made our collaboration both seamless and enjoyable. We highly recommend Barbara to anyone looking for a creative, dependable, and talented interior designer. It was an honor to support their work, and we look forward to the opportunity to work together again.”
“I've come here twice and what I love most is that these beautiful wood projects are completely fool proof! I am not crafty at all and they come out perfect. You can paint or stain. Lots of colors to choose from. Jennifer will help make your project perfect!”
Two familiar names now share one storefront. Bed Bath & Beyond and The Container Store opened their first co-branded location in Fort Worth, Texas, on May 16, and the concept is spreading to nearly two dozen stores in what the company calls phase one.
Bob's Discount Furniture is growing while its competitors shrink. The Manchester, Connecticut-based retailer reported strong fourth-quarter results in its first earnings call since going public in February, with revenue climbing 8.2% to $648.8 million. Full-year net revenue jumped 16.8% to $2.4 billion, and net income rose to $121.7 million from $87.9 million the prior year. CEO Bill Barton told analysts the company plans to open about 20 new stores in 2026 and sees a path to more than 500 locations by 2035, roughly two and a half times its current 209-store footprint across 26 states.
