Three new dining spots are opening any day in downtown Charleston and in Park Circle, while several locally owned retail stores are popping up across the region.
The owner of a popular Atlanta-based speakeasy is bringing his business to Meeting and Columbus streets. The Select, a restaurant and bar, is expected to open in May on the first floor of the Greystar headquarters building. It'll will be owner Dave Green's second Select location and his first venture in Charleston.Â
Green opened the original Atlanta Select in 2019, inspired by a 1920s "brasserie known for being a free-spirited meeting place where artists and literary figures such as Hemingway, Fitzgerald, Chagall, Picasso and Gertrude Stein" would get together.
Tanger tenants
One of North Charleston's biggest shopping centers is welcoming five new businesses.
Kate Spade New York, Pandora, All-star Elite, Boho Collective and It's All in the Biscuit are opening soon at Tanger Outlets near I-526 and International Boulevard.
It's the second new local change for Kate Spade, the clothing and accessories chain: Its downtown Charleston store recently relocated to 284 King St. from 236 King.
The former Northpointe Bank at 1063 E. Montague Ave. is getting a makeover in preparation for the opening of a still-unnamed Park Circle eatery.
More the merrier
North Charleston's Park Circle area will welcome two new restaurants soon.
Sissy Bar is expected to open any day in the former Three Sirens Restaurant space at 1067 E. Montague Ave. Founded by Mike Whitely, the same owner of Delila’s cocktail bar in downtown Charleston, the Park Circle bar and restaurant will feature a Southern California, West Coast-themed menu with dinner Monday through Saturday and brunch only on Sunday.
Two doors down, at 1063 E. Montague, local business Ciudad Bonita is revamping the former Northpointe Bank space for another Park Circle eatery.Â
Lunch is now on the menu at Philosophia in Mount Pleasant.
Lunch time
A Greek restaurant in Mount Pleasant is expanding weekday lunch service.
Previously a dinner-only venue, Philosophia in Patriots Plaza at 909 Houston Northcutt Blvd. has started offering lunch Tuesday through Friday from 11:30 a.m. until 2:30 p.m. Menu items include chicken, pork, vegetable and lamb gyros, entree salads and appetizers.Â
Joining The Jasper
A fine art and home-furnishing brand has opened a flagship store at a high-profile development in downtown Charleston’s Harleston Village neighborhood.
Hutton + Home, an Atlanta-based retailer, is occupying 3,600 square feet of the first floor of The Jasper, the 12-story mixed-use building at the west end of Broad Street.

Closing time
A long-standing Goose Creek restaurant has served its last meal. Crazy D’s at 224 Red Bank Road closed suddenly last month. Carolina One Real Estate is looking for a new restaurant tenant to fill the space.
Pet services
An upscale dog groomer has relocated to the Yeamans Hall Road area in Hanahan.
The Doggie Disco, which offers grooming services like shampoos, blowouts, haircuts, nail trims and ear maintenance, will also provide daycare services. Owner Madi Hanzlik said she will be adding boarding services and weekend hours soon at 5811 Campbell St.
In North Charleston, another locally owned provider of pet provisions called Alendry Whole Pet has opened in the former Park Pets location at 1021 E. Montague Ave.
And over in Mount Pleasant, an urgent medical care center for pets is now available at 2183 U.S. Highway 17 in a former Cracker Barrel restaurant building. It's the first Lowcountry location for White Plains, N.Y.-based Veterinary Emergency Group and No. 72 nationwide. It's open nights, weekends and holidays.
