E-Z Kwik to become Flanigan's liquor store

First Slice 'n Ice left their long-time SW 27 Avenue location and now it's E-Z Kwik's turn to leave, after 40 years in that location! Slice 'n Ice has now opened in the Quick Stop on Grand Avenue in Center Grove. A major problem was the easement issue, where E-Z Kwik's parking area is supposed to be claimed by the SW 27 Avenue expansion project, that was the issue with Slice 'n Ice, where most of their coral building front was in the easement.

Flanigan's (the Loggerhead), bought E-Z Kwik. They plan on making it their liquor store and also add lots of parking in the process. Now that the Parking Authority claimed the land all around Flanigan's on Bird Avenue, it's annoying to Flanigan's regulars, so to accommodate them and to accommodate their ever-expanding business, the new location is part of the plan.

It's interesting to note that Flanigan's is packed constantly. While E-Z Kwik has been an institution, it really has gone downhill over the years, although as far as I can remember it's always been called "Sleazy Kwik" by the locals.
