Flying Fox Coffee, a popular coffee shop in downtown Greer, is expanding with a second location near Lake Cunningham. The new cafe will take over the former Scändi Tiny Coffee location, offering the same beverage and pastry menu as its downtown location with a few unique twists. The food menu will be altered due to the lack of a kitchen, and a drive-thru option will be available for quick pickups. The team hopes to have the new location open within the month.
