Jamie's outlook on the future:

Jamie Keats, President of Jamin' Leather Inc, Jamin' Town LLC and JailHouse Services LLC has recently expanded to a 35,000 square foot building. An extremely unique building called Jamin' Town in Surfside Beach SC centrally located on Myrtle Beach's south side. This little village contains the following:

  • Jamin' Leather, is three times larger than our previous location on Hwy 501.
  • A leather repair and patch installation shop
  • A gift shop containing club wear, gifts, t-shirts...
  • A Jailhouse snack shop selling coffee, ice cream, hot dogs, snacks, beer and wine, fresh cookies...
  • Restaurant (5600 sq ft currently available)
  • Store 1 (1700 sq ft currently available)
  • Store 2 (2800 sq ft currently available)

Jamin' Town is seeking related businesses to compliment the location in the leased plaza. Jamie will be accepting calls inquiring on leases only at 843-839-5255.

And after all that is done. Jamie plans on starting a radio station to broadcast from Jamin' Town with a new format never attempted before...

Pride of the Beach

Jamin' Leather has outfitted most all leather in local shows such as Legends In Concert, Alabama Theatre, Carolina Opry, Medieval Times, local and regional comedians, national celebrities and movie sets.

Personal

FAMILY: Divorced father of 4 children. He spent his blood, sweat and tears since 1975, building toward his success to provide for his family. He has three, silly, loving and wonderful boys that live locally, as well as a beautiful 24 year old daughter living in NY and will be making him a grandfather in May of 2008. He enjoys and makes the best of his time with his boys. He is the third of four boys in his immediate family. His brothers, mother and cousins mostly all living in New York near where he grew up.

RELIGION: A christian since birth. Raised as a Catholic. Attended Catholic school through 8th grade. In the 90's, he taught 2nd grade Religious Education for several years. Jamie was active as a sound technician for Christ United Methodist Church in Myrtle Beach. He believes in the institution of marriage. He is humbled by his failed marriage in 2004 to a person who wants nothing more than to make him regret that he had ever loved her.

PERSONAL: Jamie is a caring and loving father. He tends to only work about 35 hours a week, sometimes more when the children are not around. Outside of his business life he is a mild mannered, easy going, silly, friendly, modest, open minded, sensitive and a fun loving guy and may try to make you laugh. A self made man. Goes to the gym regularly. Believes he has a successful and exciting life and loves to share it.

AS IF YOU WANTED TO KNOW: Jamie can cook, clean and more. Jack of all trades, master of none! Loves his recently remodeled home on a (real) lake with it's big kitchen, stone, pool and more. He provides for all his children, loves to travel especially tropical locations, cleans and maintains an impeccible home, his office, on the other hand is not always so impeccible. HELP!
