Myrtle Beach Restaurant Scene Heats Up Over Name Dispute
The cozy sands of Myrtle Beach are buzzing with chatter as a new restaurant, simply named The Golden Egg, prepares to open its doors. However, this culinary venture is stepping into some hot water as it shares a name that’s strikingly similar to the popular local gem, Golden Egg Pancake House. That beloved breakfast spot has been flipping pancakes and serving up eggs since 1991, right in the heart of Surfside Beach, SC.
Location, Location, Location!
To add spice to this already sizzling story, both eateries are located a stone’s throw apart along Highway 17, just a few miles from one another! While a new dining option is always welcomed, the owners of Golden Egg Pancake House are not about to let a potential name mix-up scramble their eggs.
The Hype and The Dispute
The owners of The Golden Egg took to social media, proclaiming their independence from the long-standing establishment. They’ve assured fans and locals alike that they share no connection with Golden Egg Pancake House and have no intention of opening another spot nearby. They’ve been working hard to establish their brand and wanted to make that very clear, but the news hasn’t quieted down. In fact, their announcement has sparked quite the conversation online, garnering over 500 reactions and 210 comments on Facebook by Monday afternoon!
A Call to Action
However, it seems that the excitement has stirred up a ruckus from Evan, the owner of Golden Egg Pancake House. He takes his brand seriously and claims that The Golden Egg is infringing on his trademark, which he filed for back in 2018. As a seasoned player in the restaurant game, he’s decided to send a cease-and-desist letter to the newcomers, setting the stage for a potential showdown. With a strong presence in the community and a loyal customer base, Golden Egg Pancake House does not appear to be backing down without a good fight!
