Feb./Mar. 20061970's band, KISS, to open coffeeshop USA - The first KISS
Coffeehouse will make its debut at Broadway at the Beach in Myrtle Beach, Florida in the Spring. KISS is an American rock band, very popular in the 1970's and 1980's.
Brian Galvin, a devoted fan who developed the coffeehouse idea, told The Sun News, "This concept is a
little different. It's a stimulating environment to drink a stimulating beverage." The coffeehouse will fill a 1,305-sq. ft. corner space at Celebrity Square. It will open sometime this
spring or early summer. Officials didn't give an exact date. Galvin said band members Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley plan to attend the grand opening. Myrtle Beach offers the perfect stage for a KISS Coffeehouse, Galvin told the newspaper, because of its appeal to the "Middle America" market, the segment likely to "Rock and Roll All Nite." If the KISS-themed coffee blends and sweets back up the eye-catching entrance, the coffeehouse will
do well, said Pat Dowling, spokesman for Burroughs & Chapin Co. Inc., which owns Broadway and prides itself on family values.
Galvin plans to open more locations, possibly one in Las Vegas, if this one is a hit, he said. |
