Longs, South Carolina – New Retail Plaza Planned to Support Local Growth
Christina Audi and her husband, George Audi, are unveiling plans for a new 12,000-square-foot retail plaza in Longs, South Carolina, set to cater to the burgeoning needs of the local community. The plaza will span 2 acres of land near Old Reaves Ferry Road along S.C. 90 and will house eight retail units. Applications for these units are currently being accepted, with prospective establishments expected to include food vendors, a nail salon, and an ice cream shop, indicating a focus on family-friendly businesses.
Christina Audi has expressed confidence in the area’s potential, labeling it as “up and coming.” This sentiment is echoed by ongoing commercial developments along S.C. 90, particularly between Old Reaves Ferry Road and S.C. 22, showcasing a trend of increasing economic activity and local retail options. The Audis own a total of 9 acres, with initial plans seeing the first 2 acres directed toward establishing the retail plaza, while future intentions for the other 7 acres remain undecided.
Ongoing Developments in the Area
The retail plaza proposed by the Audis is part of a larger growth initiative along S.C. 90, where Horry County officials report 11 significant developments are planned in the vicinity of the highway. Among these, one has already been completed, nine are actively progressing, and one has not yet commenced. The rising number of new businesses underlines the region’s appeal and growing infrastructure.
New additions to the area include a Refuel gas station that is currently under construction along S.C. 90, near Old State Highway 90. Additionally, a new Dunkin’ Donuts is set to open across from the Circle K gas station in Longs, showcasing a blend of national brands and local establishments that cater to the community’s dining preferences. Also noteworthy is a newly proposed boat storage facility being developed near S.C. 22, reflecting the varied interests of local consumers.
Community Preferences and Economic Opportunities
The growth trend in Longs is attributed partly to a local desire to minimize travel and avoid busy tourist areas. Residents are increasingly seeking convenient access to retail establishments that fulfill their daily needs without the need to venture into more congested tourist-centric locales. This community-driven demand aligns well with the Audis’ vision for their retail plaza, creating a valuable economic opportunity as they meet the needs of a growing population.
As businesses continue to develop along S.C. 90, the area is set to become a hub for local shopping and dining, promising a vibrant atmosphere that supports both residents and visitors. With the Audis at the forefront of this retail expansion, the coming years are expected to bring significant transformation to Longs, highlighting the importance of strategic planning in fostering sustainable growth and community engagement.
