KISS to open coffee house

[mako_kimura]

Iconic rockers KISS opened their first coffee shop in South Carolina on Wednesday (28JUN06), and promised plenty more are on the way.
Bassist GENE SIMMONS told 2,000 fans who congregated at the Kiss Coffeehouse in Myrtle Beach, "Every army needs
food and drink and the Kiss Army is no exception!" Frontman PAUL STANLEY promised outlets are being planned for Las Vegas and other major US cities.
Drinks on sale include Kiss Frozen Rockuccino, French Kiss Vanilla and Demon Dark Roast

What business has failed that those 2 dared dream up?

[mako_kimura]

The perfume thing, I think

[DrMaddVibe]

They just announced they were doing that like 2 weeks ago.

If its anything like the casket thing...ask Dimebag Darrell.

If its anything like the condom thing...they're always sold out.

No gentlemen...this will rock n' roll all night and party every day.

Kiss is not Van Halen.

Why? They have the money to keep it open.

Maybe, but "celebrity restaurants" don't work as a rule...there are any number of failed celebrity owned/themed restaurants (at least 12 that I can think of right off the top of my head, starting with Planet Hollywood and working on down) because the general public doesn't have interest in such things.

Most of them are closed within six months due to lack of repeat business...after the novelty dies off, so do the profits.

Regardless of track history, I don't see the Kiss Koffeehouse going anywhere at all...

Sounds like they're putting them in popular tourist destinations.

Alice Cooper has a successful restaurant over in Phoenix & Cleveland that is still open, I'm dying to go eat at it, It's like 50% ESPNZone, 50% Hard Rock Cafe. Despite the fact that is sells Hagar related shit

I could see one KISS Koffeehouse being successful, especially if they put it in their own hometown. But I don't see a chain making it in the long run.

And as far as the Kiss Koffins go, who else besides Dimebag have you ever heard of buying one?

It's in Myrtle Beach, I've Been to Myrtle Beach many times on Vacation, It's a tourist town for vacationers who like the beach, It'll probably be in the same area as the nascar cafe (Which has been opened for like 10 years.), I think it'll be open for a while.

Anything after, oh, 1979 or so...

:D

Seriously, though, I just don't think a chain Kiss Koffehouse has much appeal to the masses in general...I'm sure it'll hit in Detroit, but I can't see much appeal beyond the hometown angle...
