History
First opened by Ben & Millie Cornelius about 1965 as Flamingo Gift Shop mainly specializing in Outdoor Lawn Decor and Sea Shells. Purchased by Jim Tratz in 1976 and became Flamingo Jim's Gifts & Gems as Jim was very much into gemstone cutting & polishing. Later the name was revised to Flamingo Jim's Gifts & Clothing to reflect the large selection of beach clothing. 1300 sq. ft. were added to the building in 1981, and 2400 sq. ft. more in 1986. For about 10 years they produced their own line of concrete lawn decor. Many families have visited
