Default Ecklers - Newbie Q

Hi...I'm going to be in Florida next week and was wondering if Ecklers has a store front operation or is it just a mail order outfit. Looking to pick up my vette's xmas present.
Thanks....

I've been there too and it's worth the trip. Warning: Danger Will Robinson: Seeing the "goodies" in person gives you the bug to buy more!

Just be careful when you go. My first visit was on a Saturday and I had already checked their hours on the website. Well I get down there and start noticing A LOT of vettes everywhere. Turns out they were having their 25th Anniversary and it was hard finding parking... Vettes everywhere Loved it.

Depending on the product you want, you can pick it up there. They have a warehouse right across the parking lot from their storefront. Some items though are shipped from the manufacturer. You may want to call ahead and see if they carry it on site if you know what you want.

Be sure to mention you're on CF or any clubs you're in as they'll give discounts.

Take lots of money, too.

Be at Eckler's Saturday!! Why??? The 4th Annual Brevard County Corvette Clubs Toy Run will start there on December 4 at 12:00 noon. We will depart Eckler's at 2:30 PM and going to Port Canaveral to deliver the Toys for Tots!!

And since Stuart (alias STUZVETTE) has spoken on this thread and has been at Eckler's MANY times, I will expect him to be there also...if not...I may have to track him down to get a toy for a tot!!

Hope you and of course, Stuart, see you Saturday!
