Starbucks look out, you have new competition. Kiss have opened by their first Kiss Coffeehouse, in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.

Members Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons joined fans for the grand opening of the Coffeehouse on Tuesday, June 27th.

“The Kiss Coffeehouse is our way of providing everyone with the buzz of great, quality treats and coffee filled with enough sugar and caffeine to get the party started, and keep it going,” Paul Stanley said in a statement.

“Every army needs food and drink and the Kiss Army is no exception” Gene Simmons added. “Even the non-enlisted will find our treats and java rockin’ good.”

As part of the opening, 1000 bags of Kiss Army Blend is being sent to the troops in Iraq. “Anything we can do that lets our brave armed forces personnel know that they are always in our hearts and on our minds is a small token of our deep appreciation for the sacrifices they make every day for us. We pray for their safe return,” said Stanley.

Blends at the Coffeehouse include Demon Dark Roast, Kiss Army Blend, Room Service and Kiss Unplugged. Or maybe you fancy a Rockuccino, a Rockiato or a French Kiss Vanilla.
