Barrett opened her first store, Gypsea, in Grayton Beach, Florida, in 1995 across from the well-known restaurant Red Bar.

Patrons will enjoy browsing Affinity Boutique’s variety of women’s clothing, accessories, home décor, local jewelry and art. Those who wish to shop online can do so at www.affinityboutiques.com. Affinity Boutique is located on the east end of Spires Lane, at 56 Spires Lane unit 17A. The women’s boutique is open Monday – Saturday from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. and closed on Sunday.

Shunk Gulley Liquor and Wine store is now open in the heart of Gulf Place. Featuring familiar brands such as Jack Daniels, Blue Chair Bay Rum, and Abita Beer, this new go-to package store will also carry a diverse wine selection and all of the extras you need for your next party or trip to the beach. The liquor store is located just 600 feet from the Ed Walline Beach Access on County Highway 393 and Scenic Highway 30A. With the addition of an ice machine, the convenience of beach goers having a place they can walk up to and pack their coolers with their beverage purchases is a major appeal of Shunk Gulley Liquor and Wine.

 

“We want to be able to offer a carefully selected variety of popular items,” says Shunk Gully Manager, Kerri St. Peter. “When customers come in, we want to make sure they know we’re here to help them find what they need. Our staff has extensive knowledge of everything we carry and can help you select the perfect items customized to your needs.”
