I'm no leather-worker, but the hubbs is. We popped in when we were in Orlando as the Tandy's down South by us apparently closed some time ago. Even I was impressed. Literally everything a leatherworking person could want, plus more. Even I wasn't bored! lol. I didn't quite understand what I was looking at, but the husband was very happy and bought lots of tools, leather, etc. The girl working there was also super helpful. It's not a place I'd go on my own, but if you're into that sort of thing, I highly recommend!

Got here at 12:25 pm on a Wednesday. Store sign says Open, smaller sign says Closed (with no return time provided). Waited an hour to see if maybe someone was at lunch. No luck. I drove an hour each way to get here, and waited an hour for no one. I called the corporate office and they had no idea what's happening.I'd give them a negative star if I could. What a waste of my time. Apparently "all are welcome here" - except customers! Bill and Many should get with corporate and take a refresher lesson in running a small business. Rule 1: to run a business you have to be OPEN during posted business hours.

I recently completed my first leather project with the help of Bill, the Store Manager, and his awesome team. I've been a woodworker for over 30 years (plus I've dabbled in upholstery as well) so I recognize a true craftsman and Bill is surely one. He was eager to share his knowledge as he guided me through the construction of a briefcase for my Son. It was a graduation gift and it turned out very well thanks to him. During several visits he made me feel at ease while I learned the leather working techniques he was teaching me. Can't wait to take more classes. Thanks Bill for giving me a new passion.

sign at the door says due to limited staff they will be closed an hour for lunch. got here at 4, an hour before close and the door is locked. sounds like employee wanted to get off an hour early to me. very unprofessional.

Good selection of tools, hardware, supplies, kits, and various types and colors of leather.

The staff are great & helpfully found items with me the entire time, this made things fast, allowing me more time to talk with them about other things needed. Such a great day @TandyLeather

During COVID lockdown, I took on leather crafting as a hobby. Yes, a hobby, and I quickly found it to be an expensive hobby, but it was fun. I've been watching YouTube videos, and visiting websites for different leather stores and I love everything I've been learning. On a trip down to Florida, I found myself near the Tandy store in Winter Park. So of course, I wanted to come in and check it out! What a wonderful place. It's well-lit, wasn't too busy, and tons of products and materials. I wasn't too knowledgeable about different types of leather, and the staff there was very helpful in answering all of my many questions about leather types, treatments, dyes, and thicknesses. I live in New York, so I didn't buy any leather as I wouldn't be able to bring it back, but now I know what I can order online or get from the Tandy store in Connecticut. However I did buy a skiver and beveler tool! I have a renewed zeal for the art of leather crafting and I can't wait to see what happens in the future!

Glad to find a store fairly close, have a project and wanted all the leather to match and have some left over for liners.

Customer service not good, the gentleman there had very little knowledge of anything. I called the day before to ask questions about what I needed for my project, the gentleman answering the phone had no answers, no knowledge of the products, he told me the manager was off, would be in the next day. I drove a good distance the next day to get help. When I arrived the manager was out on break and the person I spoke to the day before wasn’t sure when the manager would be back. Very frustrating, he did call the manager and ask him a few of my questions about product, but in reality it wasn’t very helpful. The sales clerk was there in body but not engaged in helping, again just directed me to isles but no in put or help addressing questions.:(

This store needs to get their staffing in order. In the past month I drove there twice and doors were closed when they said open. Lately they seem to be closed at random times through out the week. I constantly am behind on projects because when I need them to be open they are not.This is extremely frustrating as it causes me to lose time/money.

Their selection of leather and other products to work with leather is outstanding. However, the assistance you get with anything is sparse. They used to have much better help while you shopped. Need to step it up.

Great service today, June 21, by the "bearded associate (Mgr?), Winter Park. I had had a mis-shipment of wrong product style before from May 21 by a different Tandy location. When I walked in, gentleman was efficient and warm and accepted a exchange/credit of the wrong items toward today's purchases ( that was 2 of us each shopping for about $200 each vs the $25 credit exchg). He was readily helpful, knew his store and product well! Always a pleasure to find such great service!! Thank you!
