Is Tower Hobbies Just An Online Store?

[joshiestevens]

Hi, I live in England, but I am coming to Orlando and Naples on holiday this Easter. I am going to buy a Mad Force but I want to know if their are Tower Hobbies stores there or if there are other hobby stores etc.

I know this question may seem a little dumb, but America is sort of Alien to me.

Thanks
Josh

As far as I know it is only an Online store. As is Horizon and Great Planes

I believe Tower is online only. If they did have a store, it would probably be in Champaign, IL.

I am sure there are numerous hobby shops in FL. Check the online yellow pages in the area you will be in.

Tower Hobbies is owned by Great Planes. It's bad enough that prolly the largest wholesale supplier of hobby products in this country if not the world competes head to head with the stores that buy from them, if they had a retail location named Tower they would shoot themselves in the foot. Their warehousing company would be out of business in a few months.


They do have a retail store, but you have to buy into it, Hobbytown USA and Hobby USA is owned by Great Planes also.


Horizon does run a website but, when something is sold to a person in your stores region, you collect the profit from the item, not Horizon.

Hi, do you know any stores in Orlando or Naples that sell a Kyosho Mad Force, Futaba 2ER Radio System, and a Monster truck carry bag.

Thanks
