HELP US SAVE!!! King's Kitchen of Southport Beach!
Our Farm to
Table Beach Shack!
It is very important that we save historic landmarks. Our
concession stand/Beach club cafe King's Kitchen is one historic
landmark built back in the 1950's. We recently formed our new company
two summers ago in 2012. We were wondering if you could help our
cause. We ourselves are having many troubles with restoring our
building after Hurricane Sandy!
We opened up the Concession stand June 10th of 2012 and created
a large following for Farm to Table Beach goers. We pride ourselves
with local/organic ingredients that I bought from three farmers
markets per week last summer for over three months.
We have recently been told by the town of Fairfield that our
building will not be able to serve the public of Fairfield and
Southport due to the new building codes put in place after Hurricane
Sandy. The storm wave surge floated our building over Pequot Avenue
and almost went into the Sasco Creek, if it wasn't saved by the guard
rail. We have checked out our building and the interior is perfect and
ready to rock n roll this summer. We invested $30,000 into the beach
club cafe last summer in our first year of service before we even
opened. We hoped to make our money back by this summer but with new
codes set in place by Fairfield coastal engineers, zoning, and the
building department we look to be at a loss. The director of Parks and
Recreation said that he tried to find away to help us any way he could
but after the town assessed the new building codes our structure needs
$35,000-45,000 worth of work to retro fit the old shack. We are at a
loss for words and are truly devastated for this predicament. Our
building looks great, it was renovated on the interior and built like
a tank last year. The reason it only floated down the road instead of
being flooded was because of our renovation design. We are looking
into fundraising. We want to serve the towns beach fare more then ever
and we need you help!!!
