Gene Simmons of KISS promotes new soda line at Fayetteville Tops

One of the most famous rock n’ roll musicians in the world visited the Tops in Fayetteville on Friday to unveil his transition to pop — well, soda, that is.

On Friday, Sept. 21, over a hundred KISS fans of all generations stood in line to see Gene Simmons — serial entrepreneur, Rock and Roll Hall of Famer and co-founder of KISS, America’s no. 1 gold record-earning band of all time. He made an appearance at the Tops on 350 Towne Drive for his recent launch of a premium soda line called MoneyBag Sodas, which are bundled in vintage-style four-packs with custom crowns and include cola, diet cola, root beer and ginger ale.

For an autograph and picture with the rock star, over 100 fans bought a $20 ticket, which included a four pack of MoneyBag Sodas for Simmons to sign.

For many fans, some who waited in line for more than two hours, this was a once-in-a-lifetime chance to meet one of their longtime favorite musicians, and even get a photo with him.
