Fast Buck Freddie's

Permanently Closed.. Fast Buck Freddie's was founded in 1976 by Bill Conkle and Tony Falcone. The first store, located at 524 Duval (at Applerouth Lane), was geared to the early restoration crowd who discovered Key West before the tourists. FBF sold fabric, pillows, baskets, rugs, lamps and window coverings that would appeal to the chic restoration tastes. The concept was a hit and we did $22 on our first day! Expansion soon crowded Bill & Tony out of the stock room where they were living. But they continued to shower under a hose in the backyard of the store! Year by year we knocked out a rear wall here and there and expanded the store to its present size. The store has changed and modified over the years, but some things have never changed: 1. We're fun! That's why the strange name, our quirky items and our diversified staff. After all, who else has a department called "Tropical Trash"!
2. Our friendly approach to our customer--always making them feel like our guests
3. Our low key, non-pushing but direct merchandise available sales approach
4. Our attitude that there is nothing we can't do for our customer
5. Our clean, attractive environment
6. Beautiful merchandise at a fair price.
