Today Thursday october 31, 2013 at 5 p.m., the Rossmeyer’s family is closing its store/museum/diner location at 290 North Beach Street in Daytona. In 1994, the building became the site of the original official Rossmeyer’s Of Daytona Harley-Davidson dealership until 2011 when it became only a Bruce Rossmeyer/Harley-Davidson museum/merchandise store with diner. The museum is moving to Destination Daytona in north Ormond Beach where it will be on the second floor of the Harley-Davidson dealership building. The Beach Street diner’s owners, Linda Toffolon and Bill Eve, sub-tenants of the original Bruce Rossmeyer’s Daytona Harley-Davidson, are looking for a new location.
“We considered staying (on Beach Street in Daytona) if the business warranted it, but after a couple years of giving it a full run, the lease is up and it’s time to make a change,” said Shelly Rossmeyer Pepe, general manager of her family’s motorcycle dealerships. The Rossmeyer family plans to maintain a presence in Daytona Beach by reopening as a year-round busines its Bruce Rossmeyer’s Daytona Harley-Davidson Main Street store at 510 Main St. The retail building, which the past few years had been leased to other businesses, is being extensively renovated for a reopening, hopefully in February 2014. The building and 2.7 acre property on Beach Street is being offered by the owner Burgoyne Properties at an asking price of $2.2 million. The end of an era…
Some good people worked and work there!

Wow, more hits to Bruce Rossmeyer’s Estate. He was such a good Guy. I know he helped many People and Causes. His Debt and Empire has taken so many Financial Hits. R.I.P. Bruce!
