Sara Brinks, owner of the Frozen Flip Flop in St. James City, is trying her best to hold on through what is a very slow season on Pine Island, due to Hurricane Ian.

Although her frozen yogurt shop fared very well structurally through the storm, Brinks said she’s now suffering from a lack of tourism, due to so much damage undertaken on Pine Island.

“I don’t want to go under, I just got started and my place is perfectly fine,” Brinks said.

Among Pine Island Strong memorabilia, the Frozen Flip Flop is proud to serve 155 different frozen yogurt flavors with a no sugar added option each week.

“It tastes like ice cream, it does not taste like yogurt. Lactose intolerant people can handle it because the lactose, during the process of making it, turns to lactic acid, which helps lower cholesterol, and yet it tastes like ice cream. I am here and I am open,” Brinks said.

The Frozen Flip Flop is at 10191 Stringfellow Road. Hours are Tuesday through Sunday, noon to 7 p.m. For additional information, call 616-516-6118.
