Several mixed-use projects are planned around West Ashley Circle and Bees Ferry Road, including The Shoppes at Bees Ferry, a second Bay Street Biergarten location, the Iron and Oak indoor golf club, and The Wedge, which is lined up with Aldi, Chase Bank, Dutch Bros Coffee, Panda Express and Chipotle. Work is expected to begin next year.
Why this matters here
None of this is open yet, which is exactly why West Ashley's existing shops and restaurants should pay attention now. New chains bring traffic and competition at the same time, and the merchants who build a local following before the first store opens are the ones who keep it afterward.
