Sugar Bear Antiques Inc. 3047 Julington Creek Road, Jacksonville, FL 32223

"Was told and escorted to take an amplifier to a booth with an outlet by an employee to test it for purchase, while testing the amp, a female walked over and very loudly said “who are these boys in my booth” and began creating a disturbance. I advised the lady that an employee brought us here to test an amplifier so I could purchase it, she kept talking over me and ignoring what I was saying as she repetitively yelled “get out of my booth” furthermore creating a disturbance. An un-informed different employee walks over and tells us we need to leave the store immediately with out the knowledge of what actually was going on. As I collected the amp that was very heavy and brought it to where I found it , the employee begins yelling at me, stating that I needed to give her the amp, I tried telling her that it was extremely heavy and that I did not want her to drop it as it was in a hard to reach location. She refused to listen and attempted to grab me. I gave her the amp and left the store where I told the manger what happened in full detail. Two customers walked out and told the manger as well that the lady who has the booth to the right of the desk with the jewelry, instigated the whole interaction and was nothing but vicious and rude, and so was the employee that was there as well. It’s very unfortunate there are people like this in our society that would say the things she said and demonize me because I look “like a boy” according to vendor. As someone who serves this state as a first responder and who makes sacrifices every day to keep people safe, it saddens me that this is how I’m treated when all I was doing was just making sure an amp works. After I was given clear instruction to use the power outlet in that booth. May God bless the lady that started this incident and bring peace to her days. And to the two customers that witnessed what happened and had our backs, I appreciate you two very much. I’m closing , all that lady needed to do was ask what we’re doing and if it was an issue, to politely ask us to relocate, not create a major disturbance in the store."

"Absolutely ridiculous all employees are completely rude. Especially the lady who decided to put her hand on my fiancé. The owner was great but employees and there VOLUNTEERS NEED SOME TRAINING BEFORE BROUGHT INTO THE SHOP. Missed out on 200 dollars in sales on amplifiers for sound systems. Bc a volunteer told us to use a power outlet along with one other lady. I would like to remind everyone in the store putting hand on someone is acutely against the law. It isn’t our problem that your volunteer directed us to a booth to use a power outlet to check a product. LADY WITH THE GOLD BOOTH TO THE RIGHT OF REGISTERS IS A COMPLETE B$&@$ and hopefully gets what she deserves."

"Not only a pleasant one but a relaxing shopping experience today at Sugar Bear. Holiday cheer filled the aisle of various booths displaying many antiques and other collectibles throughout the store. The employees are caring, helpful, kind and professional. The aisles are very spacious to walk and the individual sellers booths are neatly organized. The clean and comfy bathrooms are conveniently located in the back of the store. Parking is located on the property. I usually have something in mind when I visit and luckily I found what I was looking for...And more! Holiday sales have begun and what a perfect time to stop in and shop for those unique and wonderful gifts for your loved ones. But don't forget about YOU! I purchased an adorable Angel holding a cardinal, wooden carved elephant and a ladies jacket to donate as a gift. The holiday spirit is amongst us and what a wonderful time of the year to visit Sugar Bear too!"

"The staff here was very nice and chatty. The store is organized and I love how all the little booths tend to have a theme to them. It was cool seeing brands that I love from years before I was born. I was a little disappointed to see a couple of "blackface" items being sold, but at least most of the store appealed to me. I would definitely like to revisit."

"I absolutely love Sugar Bear Antiques Mall! Me and my husband go to Sugar Bears on a regular basis and most always find some treasures! Amazing place to shop for unique aaand affordable items! Not only are you supporting Sugar Bears, which is a small local business, you are also supporting all of the small local businesses inside as well. All of the booths are rented by individuals and their small business so what’s not to love when you’re supporting your community❣️"
