A Charleston-area restaurant has signed on as one of the first tenants in a developing Berkeley County shopping center.
Dog & Duck recently leased 2,940 square feet in the soon-to-open Publix-anchored Moncks Corner Marketplace on U.S. Highway 52 and Cypress Gardens Road, according to Bryan Fogle with commercial real estate firm Coldwell Banker Commercial Atlantic, who represented the tenant.
Rod Bradley and Andy Reed plan to open in October. They also own Dog & Duck restaurants on Long Point Road and in Park West in Mount Pleasant as well as on Clements Ferry Road in the Cainhoy area of Charleston in Berkeley County.
Dog & Duck first opened in 2001. Another Dog & Duck in Summerville is owned separately.
“It seems like a great area, and I think it will do well there with all the housing and development going in that area,” Bradley said.
Representing the shopping center developer, Branch Properties of Atlanta, were Hannah Kamba and Tim Rowley, also of Coldwell Banker Commercial Atlantic.

A new gem
The owners of a Sullivan’s Island jewelry and apparel shop are looking to add a sister store across the Intracoastal Waterway in Mount Pleasant.
Goldbug owners Ashley and John Martin want to open a satellite retail location at 1419 Ben Sawyer Blvd. They will ask the town’s Board of Zoning Appeals on May 23 for permission to allow a pervious parking lot instead of the current town requirement that all parking spaces be surfaced with a suitable paving material such as asphalt, concrete or specialty pavers.
Under the application, they also plan to renovate the vacant structure near Publix supermarket by upgrading existing windows, doors and roof and adding an all-accessible bathroom and parking area. Paint, awnings, exterior lighting and landscaping also are on the upgrade list.
“This renovation will not add to the square footage of the structure, but will bring the structure out of its current derelict state,” the application states. “We believe that with a little TLC and some aesthetic improvements, this structure can be brought back to life and enjoyed by the community.”
New perk
A small coffee vendor is adding a mobile site in Goose Creek while its new shop is under construction.
Hurricane Coffee Co. plans to open the temporary coffee truck May 23 at 2424 N. Main St. near Carnes Crossroads. Opening hours are 6 a.m. weekdays and 7 a.m. weekends.
The finished project will be a double-sided drive-thru-only that serves coffee, tea and fresh-baked goods. An opening date for the completed site has not been announced.
Mobilizing
A Charleston-area vendor of clay jewelry plans to roll out its new mobile shop in Mount Pleasant on May 21.
BR Design Co., created by sisters Carlene Browner and Cassandra Browner Richardson, will launch their 15-foot mobile shop from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Saturday at Celadon Home at 1015 Johnnie Dodds Blvd.
The two have been creating clay jewelry since they were children growing up in rural southwest Georgia and have been doing pop-up shops in the Lowcountry for several years.
