A shaved ice business in North Myrtle Beach is closing, but it is still selling its products at a nearby flea market.
Bugs Beachin’ Shaved Ice has announced on its Facebook page and a community business page that it will not reopen at its location on Sea Mountain Highway in the Cherry Grove area.

It also has food baskets for the holidays for sale and appears to be selling its equipment. The flea market is open Wednesday through Sunday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
In a message to its customers on Facebook, the owners wrote: “Due to hard times, COVID and the season slowing down, we have to shut down for good. We were unable to stay afloat through these times but I really, seriously appreciate all the love and support I got from each and every one of you.”
