The KISS Coffeehouse in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina is set to close at the end of next month.
Myrtle Beach Online reports a multi-year downward trend in business has led the owners of KISS Coffeehouse at Broadway at the Beach to decide to close the store around the end of September.
“It’s not that we didn’t do well,” said General Manager Matthew Goldschmidt, “it was just a steady decline.”
An exact date for the closing has not been set yet, said Goldschmidt
Everything in the store, which includes KISS memorabilia, is now marked down to sell.
Back in February, Kiss Coffeehouse was honored for the fourth consecutive year in the "Best Of The Grand Strand" competition (in the Specialty Food & Drink - Best Coffee Shop category) in Myrtle Beach. Over 56,000-plus total votes were cast by both locals and tourists alike, and 1,000-plus businesses competed for best-of honors in 68 unique, and special categories.
"Best Of The Grand Strand" is an annual competition sponsored by Myrtle Beach's local NBC affiliate, WMBF-TV.
The Grand Strand is a 60-plus-mile stretch of ocean front/beach along both the North and South Carolina coastlines.
