The McConnell and Snyder families sold the A.B. McConnell General Store at 2726 N. Highway 17 in Mount Pleasant for $1.3 million on Oct. 8, according to Charleston County records. The buyer, an Awendaw resident, says she wants to reopen some version of the original store.
Why this matters here
This is the rare development story where the new owner is talking about preservation rather than demolition. For small-business owners watching Highway 17 fill up with national tenants, a locally owned revival of an 87-year-old storefront is worth rooting for and worth watching.
