Any idea of what is going on there?

The 45,116 square feet space vacated by Bi-Lo after the closing of store #5289 can use infilling through other tenants.

It is going to be Bojangles.

Bids out for space upfit for Garner's Woodruff Rd. This must be going near the new Fresh Market similar to the Pleasantburg location.

The parcel owner, Food for Fun Taylors LLC, is operated by The Butcher-The Baker Management Company, franchisee of Fuddrucker's.

Bojangle's has scouted for a location in Taylors for years. It is nice to see it being realized.

Left turn arrow signalization at Wade Hampton Boulevard and Tappan Drive would be helpful.

Must have been a rough opening last night then, or maybe that was Tuesday night. Anyways, which ever night I went by there it was packed so I thought they had already opened.

Went tonight for dinner. Aside from the fact that the chef screwed my order up (1 of 3 dishes), we were quite impressed. Very flavorful, fresh tasting, and after you let them sit a little while, the noodles plump to amazing!
