This impressive project represents a whopping $6 million investment right on Wade Hampton Boulevard in Taylors, SC. It’s designed to be a comfortable space where folks in the community can come together for good food and fun activities!
Leading the charge on this innovative project is entrepreneur Chad Choquette, who’s teaming up with several partners.
