Bowman Shell - Food Mart, 5458 Vance Road (I-26 exit 165), Bowman SC: 2 November 2007   1 comment

Posted at 12:20 am in Uncategorized

Well, I'm on the road, so posting may be erratic the next few days, but I thought this one was interesting. I think I've been off of most of the I-26 exits between Columbia and Charleston at one time or another, but I don't think I'd ever taken exit 165/Bowman until today. Actually that's probably because there isn't really anything there, at least going west, except one rather lower-tier gas station / convenience store -- and a honking big open lot across the street that was obviously a Shell / Blimpie / truck stop at one time in the recent past.

I didn't really expect to be able to find out anything about it, but Google is a strange and wonderful bird, and searching "I-26" "exit 165" Blimpie immediately pulled up the going-out-of-business auction info for the place:

Interesting that Property has been sold, but almost a year on, there's still nothing happening with it.

  1. I think it started out as a Texaco. There was a fairly large heavy truck repair show on the property, as well. The rumor at the time of closing was that a national truck stop chain was going to build there.
