Hwy 55 comes to Myrtle Beach’s Coastal Grand mall

Coastal Grand mall in Myrtle Beach has a new eatery, Hwy 55, which features fresh, never-frozen burgers, house-made frozen custard and premium sliced cheesesteak.

Hwy 55 is a retro-themed diner, founded in Goldsboro, N.C. It has classic food favorites in an open-kitchen setting. The chain won BurgerBusiness.com’s “Best Burger” in 2012 and was recently named a top 500 franchise in the United States by Entrepreneur magazine.

Local businessman Jim Baldwin owns the new restaurant, which will employ 20 Myrtle Beach residents. He plans for the business to be part of the community, holding routine fundraisers and events for local causes.
