Main Street District

This just in! 🚨 The ground floor corner space of 1441 Main will be available for lease via Colliers this fall for retail or restaurant use with the potential for outdoor dining. While Wells Fargo will still have office operations in the building, the branch at the corner of Main St. & Hampton St. is closing come November. With heavy pedestrian traffic from office workers & residents + events at the CMA & Soda City Market, this is an anchor corner for #MainStColaSC. What do you want to see here? Drop a comment!👇
