A photo snapped on a Morganton street has gone viral and it has controversy brewing around a local coffee shop.
The Kyote' Koffee shop along West Fleming Drive serves coffee with a twist - baristas dressed in corsets and skimpy clothing, the business' owner told WBTV on Friday.
Saturday, the business owner sent WIS' Raycom sister station WBTV a letter from the property owner's attorney asking them to vacate the premises by March 31st. The letter cites several violations, including "nuisances in the parking lot," and "lewdness."
The shop has been steeped in controversy since a picture, taken on Valentine's Day, went viral.
The photo, which was sent to WBTV by a viewer, shows a Kyote Koffee employee dressed in her skimpy clothing standing on the side of the street, holding a sign with the company's slogan of "Come Get Some."
A comment posted on Kyote Koffee's Facebook says "this was the result of miscommunication between staff and management once again sincerest apologies," but wouldn't elaborate on what the miscommunication was.
Another comment on the page stated that the company's slogan is "Come Get Some" and "wasn't meant to seem perverted what so ever."
According to the owner, Tim Krol, the employee dress in corsets to lend to more of a fun and relaxing environment for their customers. "People like to go where they can be happy," said Krol.
The company was closed on Thursday, partly to "deal with harassment and negativity coming from other business owners," the owner said. All of the store's signs were stolen on Thursday evening, the owner told WBTV, but the shop was back open on Friday.
Employees said dozens of cars drove through the parking lot Friday and turned around and left, some of then even snapped pictures with cell phone cameras.

Google Paige Summers and you will see how we grow em. I was waiting for one of you fools to say something like this. Her real name was nancy and she was about the 5th prettiest girl in school in her day.
Oh dear. This picture didn’t at all match my vision of scantily clad women in corsets. I was picturing a provocative lass in a retro can-can outfit. Instead I got a picture of a badly bound beef brisket. Ooh La La NOT!
Mine too! I'm retired but my wife works part time in town.
Perhaps you saw this WWII documentary (a neighbor of mine worked on the documentary) at the Morganton old court house on December 7th, 2011.

She’s not that bad-looking, but what is up with that tourniquet made out of shoelaces on her right leg? That is NOT a good look.
