Caryl's Pool & Christmas Shop, located at 2616 Lawndale Drive, is in the process of transitioning from a pool supply and service store to a Christmas shop. The stuffed diva in a bathing suit all tangled in Christmas lights, on the floor of Caryl's shop, says it all. It is as if she were too tired to open another shipment of decorations. You've gotta have a sense of humor when you are clearing out bags and bags of pool chemicals and other supplies to make room for dozens of stunning, designer-decorated Christmas trees.
Caryl's store has survived several economic downturns because of her great service, her expertise on swimming pools and their needs, and her reasonable pool-maintenance rates. Additionally, around October, the store becomes a winter wonderland of lighted trees with ornaments. At some point in the year, you should stop by and look around this great store and meet the people working there. Nothing beats an on-site proprietor. Caryl, let us know when you are decorated for Christmas and we'll get back for another photo!
Customer service is everything. I wonder why more retail establishments don't understand that simple fact.
