Myrtle Beach Welcomes More Starbucks: The Latest Buzz Around Town!
Myrtle Beach, a gem along the South Carolina coast, has been brewing up some exciting news for coffee lovers! Over the last couple of years, this popular seaside town has seen a surge in Starbucks locations sprouting up, creating a caffeine buzz that locals are just loving. With new shops popping up in not only Myrtle Beach but also nearby Conway and Murrells Inlet, the coffee scene here is definitely heating up!
The Coffeeshop Craze: More than Just Starbucks
But here’s the scoop: it’s not just Starbucks that’s catching the attention of coffee enthusiasts. Along the Grand Strand, a delightful stretch of beaches and lively attractions, several local cafes and other national chains have been opening their doors to serve delicious brews. This friendly competition is fueling a lively and diverse coffee culture that caters to everyone’s taste buds.
A New Twist: Starbucks Property Up for Sale!
In a surprising turn of events, one of the newest Starbucks locations in downtown Myrtle Beach is up for sale! Yes, you read that right! The commercial real estate platform LoopNet has listed this hot property located at 1301 North Kings Highway for a jaw-dropping price of less than $2.8 million. What’s interesting, though, is that while the land and building are for sale, the actual Starbucks business and the rights to operate it are not part of the deal. Talk about an unusual real estate listing!
What Makes This Property So Desirable?
According to Jordan Koeppel, a senior vice president at Strem Capital Partners, the property’s location is what makes it so attractive for potential buyers. Situated just across from the boardwalk and in close proximity to the beach, it’s easy to see why someone might want to invest in this prime spot. “I think it’s pretty self-explanatory,” Koeppel mentioned during an interview. With tourists and locals flocking to the area, it’s a sweet deal for anyone looking to dive into the real estate market.
The Numbers Behind the Buzz
Let’s dive deeper into some numbers. This particular Starbucks first opened its doors in September 2024, drawing in crowds with its cozy ambiance and inviting atmosphere. Interestingly enough, the less-than-acre tract where it sits last sold for under $600,000 in August 2022, making the current asking price quite a jump! With technology and convenient coffee options becoming increasingly important in our fast-paced lives, it’s no surprise that Myrtle Beach is becoming a hotspot for coffee chains.
Starbucks and Beyond: A Bright Future for Myrtle Beach Coffee Lovers
With multiple locations within walking distance of the beach and boardwalk, a cup of java is never too far away in this vibrant city. Google Maps even shows that there are nine Starbucks locations to choose from in the downtown area. Whether you’re looking to fuel up before hitting the sand or just enjoy a warm cup on a cool evening, Myrtle Beach has become a mecca for coffee lovers.
Wrapping It Up: Cheers to Coffee!
So, whether you’re a die-hard Starbucks fan or love to explore local cafes, Myrtle Beach is definitely the place to be. With new locations opening, exciting developments in the real estate market, and a committed dedication to serving up great coffee, the Grand Strand is more lively and inviting than ever. Next time you find yourself near the coast, grab a cup of coffee – you deserve it!
