For those who want to blame it on Trump's economy... it has nothing to do with that. The family just wants to retire and live happily ever after.

I assume they're connected to the Sexton's in Vestavia?

Seems like someone could have bought the business.

Time for Lartigue's in Orange Beach to expand.

Sexton's was great for fresh Gulf seafood. That's a fantastic location, the property alone is worth a small fortune.

Seems like a good location for Joe Pattis to expand.

I would assume that is for the building. I am talking about the actual business.

Really sorry to hear that. Had some great times camping at Henderson Beach State Park and grilling fresh snapper and grouper from Sexton’s.

Crazy. Been going there since the 80s. Was always great adventure as a kid picking out fresh fish with my dad.

Passed out in their parking lot after an interesting night at Fishheads bar that was across Benning Drive way back in the early 90s.

Woke up sprawled out the door of my car when the sun came out. Interstingly, no one bothered me in 3-4 hours i was there....

Fishheads was owned by Victor or Sherrod from Victor Sherrods in FWB - if memory serves.

Seems like Sexton's made the decision without much public notice...

That old cranky bastard with Skipper's seafood shop in Sandestin should buy it.
