Preston Henn
Preston B. Henn (born January 20, 1931) is an American entrepreneur who founded the Fort Lauderdale Swap Shop in 1963.
==Business career==
Henn opened what became the Swap Shop as a drive-in movie theater in 1963. He shortly thereafter decided to add a flea market. Through shrewd business practices and somewhat extravagant promotion, Henn was able to grow the Fort Lauderdale Swap Shop into one of the region's most popular tourist attractions.〔Tobia, P.J. (Crazy like a Henn ), ''Broward/Palm Beach New Times'', November 24, 2005, ''retrieved August 16, 2009''〕 In 2005 Henn began making unusual decisions such as firing the facility's trademark circus act, and it was rumored he was selling the facility. Later that year he was involved in a violent altercation with a vendor he was trying to evict. Police used a taser to subdue him.〔 Henn was subsequently sent to a mental hospital for again attempting to assault the vendor.〔Benn, Evan S. (Swap Shop owner Preston Henn involuntarily hospitalized again ), ''Miami Herald'', retrieved August 16, 2009〕
