Funky Flamingo Expanding The Funky Flamingo, 1418 58th St. S., has expanded their produce selection and their presence. As promised, the Funky Flamingo started small, but is starting to fulfill greater needs in the community, said owner and operator Chris Clark. Clark, along with fellow owners/ operators Thomas Goodall and Anita McLaughlin, supply resident produce needs at their brick and mortar shop and, most recently, at the Gulfport Tuesday Fresh Market. Along with fresh produce, the trio has also expanded their cold deli options. Patrons can grab a
fresh-made rotisserie chicken salad sandwich for $6, along with rotating daily specials. The store also offers Florida-made salsa, jams, jellies and honey, as well as quirky retail and gourmet dog treats. Check out fb.com/ FunkyFlamingoGPFL for more.
