I recently took the drive to PEL, "rolling deep" across Fruitville into a part of Sarasota I'd never been to before. I am glad I did. PEL is such a trove of unique and generally high quality furniture, lamps and interesting old items, what a gem of a store. Their friendly volunteers are very helpful. Yes, parking is a bit of a challenge, but very doable, unless perhaps you are accustomed to valet service.

An ad for PEL came across my facebook page so I decided to go and check it out. I love this place. They have beautiful and different furniture. While I was there, I spotted a vase I thought my mother would like, to replace the one I accidently broke. So I took a picture of it and went home and showed it to her, and she wanted it. I googled the store to see what time they close and that is when I saw they had a lot of 1 star reviews. The majority of these reviews all with the same beef, parking issues, location and rudeness. I have to say the employees could not have been nicer to me. Someone made an off the wall remark about the store being small. I asked what the square footage of the store is and was told 9,000'. That store looked pretty big to me. Now about these reviews, 10 out of 31 people gave bad reviews ALL 1 year ago. All 10 people who left these reviews have only reviewed 1 establishment. Do you honestly want me to believe that 1 year after leaving these reviews none of these 10 people could find 1 business they liked enough to review nor could they find 1 business they disliked enough to review, I don't think so! I write this because I own a business and I know what fake reviews look like, and I don't like it! To Mary Ron, Lena S, Nance R, Reggie Germont, Trish G, Laura Martineau, Floy Riscrano, Michelle G, Christina Belmar and Mona Leibwitz you ALL should be ASHAMED of yourselves! Leaving fake reviews to hurt most likely your competitor. That's not right! All I can say is KARMA BABY!

My wife and I are seasonal residents of Englewood, which is a good hour drive from PEL. We have visited this store a number of times and purchased something each visit. We have always found the volunteer staff, to be cordial and helpful. We were impressed with hearing how engaged PEL is within the Sarasota community with youth at risk and presenting one group with a check for $60,000 to such a group, just last week. Bravo!!! This is but one , of a number of beneficiaries of PELS’ outreach programs. We highly recommend PEL for treasure hunting and will continue to be among their loyal customers.

I love this place! I was surprised to see negative remarks about the location since it is a very safe location on a little street with great high-end antique stores. All the volunteers working there have always gone out of their way to be extremely kind and helpful to me. The negative reviews seem fishy 🐟. There are a few posted around the same time, likely by the same person trying to hurt your business somehow. Sad, since this is a non-profit doing good work to help others. I don't post often, but felt the need to do so when I saw what was happening with those comments.
