Myrtle Beach restaurant moving after decades in yellow building. Where is it going?

A chicken restaurant that’s been in the heart of downtown Myrtle Beach for decades is moving. Maryland Fried Chicken , located in its yellow building at 939 N. Kings Highway adjacent to another longtime restaurant, Mammy’s, is planning to relocate at the beginning of the year, workers said. It is unclear why the fried chicken restaurant is moving or what will happen to the building. The building is owned by the First United Methodist Church of Myrtle Beach. Messages left with a restaurant manager and a church official were not returned before publication. The restaurant’s new location will be at 1803 N. Kings Highway, which is the former location of Bistro B restaurant . The restaurant, which opened in April 2025, combined a dining establishment with the popularity of pickleball by having three pickleball courts in the back of the building where diners or others could play. The former owner, who declined to provide his name, said on Wednesday that the restaurant closed on Sept. 1 because he planned to retire. Before Bistro B, the building hadn’t had a business located there in about 15 years.

Last SC location of this business offering 75% off sales. How long before they close

Horry County residents have been wondering for years when a home decor store would finally close. The store, located in Surfside Beach, is the last Old Time Pottery location in South Carolina. Old Time Pottery, which became known for its deals on furniture, rugs and other home decor items, was bought in 2023 by Gabe’s, an off-price retail and clothing outlet. The takeover drew online speculation in the past few years from residents in The Grand Strand who wondered if the Surfside Beach location would be changed after other stores across the country had closed. But this time, the rumors are true: South Carolina’s last Old Time Pottery location will be closing in December so that the store can be turned into a Gabe’s store, a store supervisor told The Sun News on Thursday. The store will remain closed for five to six weeks afterward in order to remodel it. What will this mean for customers? Gabe’s first acquired Old Time Pottery in April 2023. A year later, speculation about the location at 1870 Highway 17 Business in Surfside Beach grew as customers wondered if a new business would take its place. A Gabe’s company spokesperson announced in a March

Horry County man placed on ‘most wanted list' for overgrown grass, lawsuit says

A Conway area man claims he was wrongfully arrested by Horry County Police officers because his grass was too tall, according to a new lawsuit. The lawsuit, filed in Horry County on Nov. 5, names Horry County, HCPD Police Chief Kris Leonhardt, Deputy Chief Justin Wyatt and several other officers, who Kevin Hobbs accuses of making false accusations against him in order to obtain an arrest warrant. The allegations stem from a series of alleged interactions between HCPD officers and Hobbs from August to October 2024. Hobbs claims that he was arrested for “declining to discuss an alleged overgrown grass-complaint” near his front door, according to the lawsuit. The complaint also states that Hobbs was placed on Horry County’s most wanted list, put in jail and then prosecuted for 13 months. The Sun News has requested the documents relating to Hobbs’ arrest. A spokesperson for Horry County and HCPD each wrote that the county and police department does not comment on any ongoing litigation in text messages to The Sun News. Hobbs is seeking punitive and actual damages to be determined by a jury. Dispute over grass On Aug. 30, 2024, Hobbs had been at his home on Lesia Lane

Woman claims Myrtle Beach police had no ‘cause' to arrest her, take dog, suit says

The City of Myrtle Beach is facing another lawsuit related to a string of arrests for loitering outside a Myrtle Beach coffee shop in August. Audrey Evans was one of more than a dozen people arrested by the Myrtle Beach Police Department in the parking lot next to Fresh Brewed Coffee House. The arrests, which took place over two days, led to public outcry among the Myrtle Beach community after the coffee shop’s owner Kate Curran posted on social media that the people taken into custody had been helping her clean up after the shop closed. The coffee house caters to the city’s homeless community, providing food, water and other services to those who are unhoused. Several of those arrested were homeless. The coffee shop also shares its parking lot with City Hall. MBPD issued a statement, saying that it had received complaints from the public regarding people loitering in certain public spaces. Officers were then instructed to do periodic checks around those areas, resulting in the arrests in August. The lawsuit filed in Horry County on Nov. 11 isn’t the first one the City of Myrtle Beach has faced related to the August arrests. At least three other people,
