North Myrtle Beach

The former site of a Ryan’s buffet restaurant in North Myrtle Beach has been sold for approximately $2.4 million, with the transaction completed in June 2024. The property, located at 3607 Highway 17 South, has entered the hands of AlleyOops MB Properties, LLC, a firm based in Towson, Maryland.

Details regarding the specific future plans for the property remain unclear, as inquiries made to the co-owner of AlleyOops, Chris Reda, and the registered agent for the LLC, Ned Parsons, went unanswered prior to publication. The ambiguity surrounding the company’s intentions continues to draw interest from local residents and businesses.

Possible Connections to a Regional Restaurant Chain

AlleyOops is associated with a seafood restaurant chain located in Ocean City, Maryland, which is known for providing a unique dining experience that includes bowling alleys, games, and a live shark tank. However, it has not been confirmed whether this restaurant chain is directly linked to the LLC that acquired the North Myrtle Beach property.

Recent Developments at the Property

In addition to the significant sale, a new building permit was issued by North Myrtle Beach on August 8, 2024. This permit allows for the refacing of the cabinet and face panel signal for a free-standing sign at the property. The value of the work associated with the building permit is approximately $3,000.

Joe Brennand applied for the building sign, but he also did not respond to requests for comment prior to the publication of this article. The issuance of the permit indicates that some level of development or renovation is anticipated at the site, which may lead to further changes in the local landscape.

Background on the Property

The property, which had been a Ryan’s buffet restaurant, has been closed for an undisclosed period. Ryan’s was known as a national buffet chain, offering a variety of food options in a casual dining environment. The closure of this location left a void in the local dining scene, prompting speculation about potential new uses for the site following its recent sale.

The acquisition by AlleyOops MB Properties signifies a potential shift in the restaurant landscape in North Myrtle Beach. As the city continues to grow in popularity as a tourist destination, the future development of the former Ryan’s property could play a role in enhancing the attraction of the area for visitors and residents alike.

The sale and the subsequent permit approval are part of an ongoing trend of changes and revitalization within the North Myrtle Beach community. Local stakeholders and residents are hopeful that the new owners will bring fresh opportunities to the area, further contributing to the local economy.
