Crazy Alan's Emporium

I love Crazy Alan's. I'm obsessed with pens and what I greatly appreciate is that you can buy single pens of what is normally sold by the pack in the chain office stores or on Amazon. Alan and the staff are very helpful and knowledgeable and it's locally owned! Yes the store is packed but it's such a fun place to browse.

Alan is a lovely guy who will go noticeably out of his way to relate to you about his vast inventory. Don’t confuse his excitement with pushy sales tactics—he will immediately adjust if you indicate something is out of your budget. He’ll help you find good options within progressively lower price ranges unless you specify one. I believe Alan is an absolutely killer salesman of some obscenely fine pens—seriously, he has some limited editions that would surprise most online fountain pen communities. Out of principle, I’m going to buy every pen I can from him going forward. I humbly ask that you check out his store!

What a gem! A friend and I stopped in on a whim to see just what this store was about, and we were so glad we did! The selection of pens, gifts, collectibles and office supplies is incredible and Alan himself is an absolute delight and a well of knowledge. Be sure to stop in if you’re in the area! You will not be disappointed.

I met Alan and crew at the Miami pen show and had a great experience. Very personable service! I found a beautiful limited edition pen I had been wanting and Alan gave me a good price, followed by excellent customer service and fast shipping when I decided afterward I'd like a different nib size than the one I originally chose. I would definitely recommend this shop.
