Why The Florida Shell Shop Matters

The Florida Shell Shop was established in 1955.  That’s a long time ago folks.  Before I was born and I’m OLD. It’s also a family-owned business. We are huge supporters of local businesses and family-owned enterprises, so we like to point them out just in case you are too.
