Coffee shop closed since Irma reopens on Hilton Head, but it may be moving

Starbucks at Sea Turtle Marketplace on Hilton Head Island has reopened after being closed for a time following Tropical Storm Irma.

The building had received roof damage which caused some flooding, Tommy Smith, president of Sandcastle Constructors, a contractor for Sea Turtle Marketplace, previously said.

There are plans in place to demolish the north-end Starbucks building and rebuild it on site, Smith said. He said that, when this happens, the store would temporarily open in a nearby building.

A timeline for the project is still unknown, Smith said. He said work has just started on the building that is proposed as the temporary location to house Starbucks.
