Rent Me Superstore, a golf cart rental business in Myrtle Beach, is facing a 45-day ban from conducting business due to a suspension of its franchise license by the city. The company, which operates three stores in the city, learned about the possible suspension in May after falling behind on its business license and decal fee payments. Despite making all payments in full, the city moved forward with the suspension, which went into effect on June 11.
The loss of income during the suspension could have significant consequences for the company, including losing employees, goodwill, marketing opportunities, and contracts with third parties, such as insurance companies or the landlord. Attorneys for Rent Me Superstore are asking a judge to intervene and lift the ban. They argue that allowing it to continue could potentially ruin the business and that lifting it is crucial to its continued operation and success.
Rent Me Superstore has held annual franchise licenses for over seven years and currently does not have any outstanding payments to the city. The company stands to lose about $450,000 in revenues during the suspension period. Despite this setback, Rent Me Superstore remains committed to resolving this issue through legal means and protecting its livelihood and business interests.
