Jamie Albano

Hi, I’m Jamie— a local Wellen Park business owner, born and raised in Florida, and the human behind What’s Up Wellen. What’s Up Wellen began as a simple way to track all the fun happening around Wellen Park — from live music and pop-up markets to new businesses and new developments. We wanted a go-to spot where locals and curious visitors could get a quick, fun, and truly local take on what’s happening each week. Based right in Downtown Wellen Park and open 7 days a week, we’ve got our finger on the pulse of the community.
