Florida’s Natural Grove Store Gift Shop
Although most end their visits with a pass through a gift shop, you’re already in it when you enter the Grove Store. As mentioned, everything in the gift shop is citrus themed. You’ll find vintage citrus crate labels, orange flavored popcorn, citrus candles, soaps and lotions, Christmas tree ornaments, children’s books, jewelry and so much more. It’s one of the coolest places to shop in Lake Wales and the perfect place to find a souvenir to commemorate your Central Florida vacation.
The Juice Bar
Florida’s Natural orange juice out of the carton is delicious, but what if you could try their juices before they ever make it to the grocery store? Sharing a room with the gift shop is the juice bar, where you can sample small batches of fresh citrus juices made from whatever varieties are available at the time. Also near the juice bar is candy, lots of candy.
Exhibits and Museum
There is so much more to learn about citrus at The Grove Store. Several specialty exhibits feature short films and the museum features cool citrus artifacts that put the history of this industry into perspective.
