I’m very excited about our new location in North Myrtle Beach. Our current store in North Myrtle Beach is in the Surfwood Plaza shopping area and we’ll still be in there at least through the end of the year. But we are building a new location, right up the road that we’ll be moving into soon.

Our new location is about half a mile or so to the north of our current location and on the opposite side of the road. Here’s what it looked like just after the initial clearing of the land:

This picture was taken in October 2007 when they were just finishing the clearing of the land. The next picture shows the land while it was being graded, and then when the slab was poured:

The next step was for the building to start going up:

And here’s a picture of the outside of the store once the bricks were up:

And some pictures of the inside:

These are the latest pictures that I have – but they were taken over a month ago. As it stands right now, it is essientially complete with a few minor details still to be finished: parking lot marking, the signs, etc…I’m going to be down at the beach this weekend and I will be going by and will try to grab some more pictures.

This is going to be an awesome store. I’ll update the blog once I know an official opening date. We’re thinking sometime in early January though – we’ve got to get through the Christmas rush first.

If you’ve only been to our Florence store then you definitely need to check out our beach stores the next time you’re there. Each of our stores has their own personality – and both of the beach stores (Surfside and North Myrtle Beach) are tons of fun. They carry much of the same merchandise that we do in Florence, but they also have their own style that just doesn’t seem to work with our customers. Check them out the next time you’re at the beach – you won’t regret it.

Keep checking back to the blog and I’ll keep posting more details. Have a great weekend and don’t forget to come visit us – we’re open (in the Florence store) on Saturday from 9-1 during Christmas.
