The State of Downtown Retail

[GvilleSC]

I like the proposal of a similar patio! The railing look like a quality aspect.

The setback will bring a nice change to the constant facade surface on that block, and bring some attention to the restaurant.

Planning and Zoning Applications

Lots of proposals for shingle signs. The Cazbah, Marble Slab, and Falls Park Golf and Games are all succumbing to the will of Heidi Aiken.

[GvilleSC]

I like all the proposed shingle signage.

I thought that Augusta Twenty closed? or didn't something along that stretch of shops?

Anyway, I'm really excited about this Falls Park Golf and Games. I'm interested in checking that place out!

You're probably thinking of Sworn Denim.

I think you're right! Thanks for clearing that up!

Thanks for posting.

So happy to see the new location will have the patio. Good deal.

Likewise. It appears to be very similar to their current location, with main difference being the building is two-stories high rather than one.

So apparently Cantinflas is moving to the Senor Wraps location? I hadn't heard about this...is senor wraps closing or moving? I like that place but they never get any business (at least not after lunch) and I've gone a couple times around 9:15-ish and they would be closed even though their hours were until 10pm.

Senior Wraps will be closing.

Downtown was doing very brisk business today. Mast General was packed.....the holiday market was busy with the snow machines going.....Main Street was lively, even in the rain and fog.

[GvilleSC]

Fantastic! Good to see that the weather couldn't keep people away!

Works continues on the Dunkin Donuts flagshhip store. Sign just went up.

Smiley's has been doing some work to their building and put up new signage:

[GvilleSC]

I give it a thumbs up! That will add to the character of the area, and a little flavor to that corner. I like it. They must be doing well.

La Cubanita Cafe is set to relocate from 128 East Broad Street to 816 South Main Street. It will be located in the building just past Rio Grille heading southbound on Main Street on the same side of the road. The restaurant is scheduled to feature Cuban food/culture, a lounge and live music.

I'm glad they're moving to a better location. I haven't tried them, but I've heard good things. I wish them much success in their new and more visible location.

Small, neat and to the point. The simple shingle sign from a corporate giant. Even Heidi Aiken would have to approve.

the wife and i were at Guadalajara in Mauldin last night and they had a banner that said "Coming Soon to Downtown Greenville" in the corner...anybody know where it will be going?

[benjamesriddle]

I hope this is coming to Main Street! I love me some Guadalajara!

The Hollywood movie gallery store on Main Street across from the Main at McBee site has closed.

The Hollywood movie gallery store on Main Street across from the Main at McBee site has closed.

I am not surprised. I am surprised it has hung on this long. It just doesn't seem like the type of store that does enough business to warrant a Main Street address.

It doesn't seem like the type of store that would do any business to me.

I agree. I actually didn't know they were still open...
