Folly Beach trying to ban business chains. This sounds like something straight out of California and I doubt this new ordinance could stand up in court if challenged.
Most of the stores on Folly are already chains. They just aren't fast food chains.. Are they going to shut down Taco Boy who's owner owns about 20 restaurants? There's already a BP station, and a Subway, and both of those would have to be grandfathered in. They need to be careful though, vacation property management companies like Avocet and Windham Resorts will have to take their business elsewhere. Carolina One and Dunes Properties would be at risk. I just hope they take a good look at how this will affect the current state of business there and whether a mom and pop store can bring the same levels of stability and service. There needs to be some very specific language included to make sure that "chain" business affects all chain business or just certain ones. Very interesting indeed. I'll be watching how this unfolds for sure.
