The Southern Belly / Krab Kingz, 1410 Colonial Life Boulevard Suite 150: 2022 / 2024 1 comment
I got a little behind the times here, missing two in a row.
The Southern Belly opened a location in this spot around 2018 after Spork closed. They lasted apparently until 2022.
After that, Krab Kingz opened on 21 April 2022, as detailed in this State story. They also folded in somehow the Hook Fish & Chicken operation from River Drive after they closed.
Krab Kingz seems to have folded sometime in 2024, with the last archived web page I can find from October 2023. I believe they were part of a national chain which still exists.
Now the place is Best Wings Of Columbia.
Breath Of Salt Spa, 1410 Colonial Life Boulevard Suite 250: 8 December 2016 (moved) no comments
I hadn't checked in on Colonial Village on Colonial LIfe Boulevard for a while, and driving through the other day noticed a spa storefront I don't recall seeing before.
I am unfamiliar with this type of salt spa, but apparently it is helpful with breathing issues. In late 2016, they moved to 817 Moss Creek Drive in Cayce, and you can check out their web site and Facebook page for details.
The Village Gourmet, 1410 Colonial Life Boulevard Suite 150: August 2012 5 comments
I have to admit I was not really aware of The Village Gourmet, but according to the nice little note currently still on their web site, the place had been there over 17 years. I have to say the lunch menu looks quite good, and I wouldn't have minded trying a grilled four cheese croissant at all!
It looks as though another eatery is already setting up shop in the space, Spork Food And Beverage Cafe.

Curves For Women, 1410 Colonial Life Boulevard # 210: 2007 1 comment
All I know about Curves is that it is a franchaised gym for women. I do rather like the idea the name suggests: that being fit isn't the same thing as being a bony stick.
Colonial Village, the little strip across from Dutch Square on the way to I-126, has never really seemed to thrive. To me it seems like it should be a good location, but the only thing of note that has lasted over there is The Melting Pot.
