News Summary
Kluck It, a wing restaurant in downtown Conway, has closed just a year after opening. The unexpected shutdown on July 23 leaves local customers surprised, as the restaurant was known for its unique wing sauces and takeout model. The reasons for its closure remain unclear, and the owner has not responded to inquiries. Kluck It’s branding was tied to the memory of the owner’s late dog, Bear, and while the Conway location is now closed, its Myrtle Beach counterpart continues to operate.
Conway – Kluck It, a wing restaurant that had just completed its first year of operation in downtown Conway, has officially closed its doors. The restaurant ceased operations on July 23, 2025, leaving local customers surprised by the sudden shutdown.
Previously located at 1515 3rd Ave, the site was known for its location in a former seafood establishment, Shelley’s Seafood. Despite opening in the summer of 2024 to much anticipation based on customer requests, the exact reasons for the closure remain unclear.
Upon inspection on July 24, the exterior of Kluck It appeared undisturbed, though the interior had been completely gutted, suggesting a rapid dissolution of the establishment. Owner Melissa Cooper-Garcia has not responded to inquiries about the closure, leaving many to speculate about the decision.
Kluck It originally launched in Myrtle Beach before expanding to Conway, where it exclusively offered takeout services due to a lack of dining space. The restaurant boasted a diverse menu, featuring around 20 different homemade sauces including flavors like lemon pepper, BBQ, and jerk. In addition to wings, it served burgers, Philly subs, and fried pickles, all crafted using a unique homemade spice blend developed by Cooper-Garcia.
A significant aspect of Kluck It’s branding was its homage to Cooper-Garcia’s late dog, Bear, who had passed away a few years prior. The theme resonated with customers, playing a pivotal role in the restaurant’s identity. Despite the closure of the Conway location, the Myrtle Beach restaurant at 912 US 501 continues to operate, underscoring a stark contrast in the success of the two outlets.
The rise and fall of Kluck It in Conway highlights the challenges faced by new restaurants in adapting to local markets and maintaining sufficient patronage. Factors such as the exclusive takeout model may have limited the establishment’s ability to capture a wide customer base, especially during a time when many diners prefer the experience of dining in. As the restaurant landscape continues to evolve, businesses like Kluck It must navigate numerous obstacles, from operational costs to changing customer preferences.
The closure of Kluck It serves as a reminder of the competitive nature of the restaurant industry and the unpredictability involved in launching a new venture. While the local community may mourn the loss of this unique dining option, the ongoing operation of its original Myrtle Beach location provides a continuing legacy for the brand.
For the residents of Conway, the closing of Kluck It leaves a gap in the culinary scene, and only time will tell what kind of establishment might next fill its place at the former Shelley’s Seafood site.
