Shore Thing Cigars is opening its second location this spring at The Wharf in Orange Beach Alabama. The store is owned by country music star Luke Bryan, along with his business partner Paul Copeland. Bryan and Copeland chose The Wharf for their expansion because of its ties to live music – the Wharf features a 10,000-seat amphitheater – and championship sport fishing.
The pair’s first store opened in 2020 in the Florida Panhandle town of Watersound. The second store will have a similar feel and vibe to its flagship store, featuring alcohol and a humidor.
Shore Thing Cigars at The Wharf has built a backstage area where guests can buy annual memberships to enter a private lounge with secured lockers that have a digitally controlled humidity system for cigar storage. Backstage memberships include a gift card, invitations to private events, liquor and cigar pairings, and trips to cigar factories and fields.
“The Orange Beach area has always been an amazing place for music, fishing, and beach life,” Bryan said in a press release. “The opportunity for Shore Thing Cigars in that area just seems like a perfect fit. [It is] a gathering place [where] people can get together, relax, and enjoy a drink and a cigar. The Wharf has always been one of my favorite venues and I am honored to have Shore Thing Cigars in the area.”
It is located at 4780 Wharf Parkway Suite F- 101 in Orange Beach.
