The Baltimore-based company will hold a grand opening for the store on May 18 at 391 Fantasy Harbour Boulevard, Myrtle Beach.

The c-store will be open 24/7 and feature the chain’s World-Famous Chicken, freshly brewed coffee, made-to-order meals, fuel and other convenience items, the company said in a Wednesday news release. It will also have 12 fuel dispensers and a car wash. 

"We are honored to officially join the Myrtle Beach community as a reliable, 24/7 neighbor. Beyond our World-Famous Chicken, we are bringing real value to South Carolina through our ROFO Rewards program and a commitment to fresh, affordable meals for every resident. We look forward to being the go-to spot where quality and community meet," said Joe Kieper, district leader at Royal Farms.
