The Seattle’s Best Coffee Shop that has operated the iconic red neon-lit coffee cup sign at Seattle’s Pike Place Market has closed. The Seattle’s Best has been at that location since 1984.

There is no word yet from Pike Place or Starbucks, which owns the Seattle’s Best brand, of what is to become of the space, but a spokesman for the Seattle’s Best brand, Heather Ribeiro of Zeno Group, told Daily Coffee News that the sign will be a serious consideration.

“We will honor and commemorate the Post Alley store and its role in Seattle history by finding an appropriate venue to display our neon red cup where it can be remembered and admired by all as a Seattle icon,” she said.
