Avigators was a store selling items with its own label. The store sold mainly adult casual clothing and aviation-related items. The shop was located next to YesterEars[1] and the Adventures Club[2]. The store also sold Adventures Club items since it was right next to it.[3]
[edit] Original Plaque
Below is the text from the original plaque on the building:[4]
- AVIGATORS SUPPLY
- Pleasure Shipping and Receiving - 1924
- Island founder Merriweather Pleasure had this building constructed to facilitate his business refurbishing ships and yachts. It later became a clearing house and depot for the booty from his global adventures. In 1939, Pleasure befriended a group of native Floridian stunt pilots, the "Avigators" who operated a short-lived import/export business here from 1949-1951.
- The entire history of Pleasure Island is misrepresented on the plaques located at each entrance to our island.
