Four months later, Victor Bergeron sold his interest to the co-owner, Granville "Granny" Abbott.

Trader Frank's restaurant was part of the Tiki Gardens theme park started by "Trader" Frank Byar in 1964. The restaurant sat 450 people and had a tall A-frame structure.

The head chef for many years since its beginning was "Papa Lee" who, along with his wife, Chui, and several other Chinese cooks worked to turn out all the varied menu items. They lived on premises from 1976 onward after a hit-and-run driver killed Papa Lee's cousin, Lawrence Lee, who had just moved from New Jersey to work at the restaurant and was living in an apartment just over a quarter mile away. To prevent this hazard in the future, a 2-bedroom apartment was built on premises for the Lees who had also been walking a short distance to and from the restaurant each day.

Trader Frank's and the rest of the Tiki Gardens complex was sold and closed in 1988.
