Kiss close store before it opens

KISS were set to open their first retail store in Melbourne, Australia called Kissworld but now the project has been scrapped and the store will not open. Directors Peter Hoffmann and Robert Manuele of Kissworld said "It is devastating to see the project coming to an end. We are two Melbourne businessmen who put everything on the line to make this memorabilia Mecca and also a jewel in the crown for a band that pride themselves on merchandising and innovation. There are many thousands of KISS fans from around the world that were making plans to attend the opening of the complex. Due to certain circumstances the store was unable to come to fruition".

All items and stock that were to be in the store will be sold in a warehouse and fans can log onto www.kissworld.net to get more details. The sale will take place June 22 to July 17.
