Swamp Fox Armory, 9331 Garners Ferry Road: 27 March 2021 1 comment
I believe that Swamp Fox Armory is basically in the same location at the old Wateree Arms though there is a slight address difference, and of course that building was torn down.
According to their Facebook, they have been "currently closed" since March of last year. As the signage has been taken down or reversed, I wouldn't expect them to re-open at this point.

Jimmy John's, 5910 Garners Ferry Road: 12 June 2022 (Open Again) 2 comments
I got a bit of a surprise today when I decided I wanted a JJ BLT for lunch.
It seems that yesterday, somebody drove a car into the front of the Woodhill Jimmy John's. I presume it was an accident, since you would not expect to find a lot of cash in a sandwich shop. According to the door sign, nobody was hurt, which is the important thing, and they expect to reopen as quickly as possible.
UPDATE 28 September 2022: This location is open again. Also updating tags.
Target, 6090 Garners Ferry Road Suite A: April 2022 (Activity) 3 comments
Something is going on at the Garners Ferry Target. Just looking at all the containers parked in the lot, I would guess some kind of major remodeling, though I still think of that as a pretty new store. I suppose I could have found out by just going in, but I didn't have time right then.
Anyone know?
Advance Auto Parts, 7613 Garners Ferry Road: Early 2022 (Moved) no comments
As pointed out by commener Justin S., the Advance Auto Parts store across from the Aldi at 7613 Garners Ferry Road has now moved just a little up the street to 7531 Garners Ferry. In the meantime, this, very checker-boarded, storefront is empty.

Synovus, 7851 Garners Ferry Road: 14 January 2022 no comments
This Synovus out on Garners Ferry Road is on the countdown now for a closure in Mid-January next year. Commenter Joe Shlabotnik notes that the suggested alternate location for this branch's customers is quite a drive from here. I suspect many people will make other arrangements.

Food Mart & Grocery / Secret's Convenience Store, 11409 Garners Ferry Road: 2019 1 comment
I'm guessing this building was at one time a "country store" type place that made the switchover to "convenience store". As near as I can tell from google reviews, it was Food Mart & Grocery as recently as three years ago, and the roadside sign suggests it reopened as Secret's sometime after that, though the length of the grass suggests that incarnation didn't last too long.
Wells Fargo, 4800 Garners Ferry Road: Spring 2021 4 comments
To the best of my memory, I was only in this bank once. And it was fine, you know -- a bank.
On their window sign, they try to spin this closing as a move, but of course the branch farther up the road was already there. Hopefully the staff were able to go to other branches, but this is a closing. The sign is a bit unusual as well in that it doesn't give a date, which these things usually do.
I'm not sure how this address can be 4800, as this is the first block of Garners Ferry Road, but that transition area has always been a bit odd.

Vacuums Etc, 6420 Garners Ferry Road: 2020 (Moved) no comments
I was driving through Cedar Terrace the other evening, and noticed that Vaccums Etc had moved out of their store there. It appears they have gone into the old Forest & Grant Photo Imaging storefront by Richland Mall on Forest Drive.
Bi-Lo, 7830 Garners Ferry Road: 14 February 2021 7 comments
I stopped at this Bi-Lo on Sunday, and while it was rapidly emptying out, there was still a good bit there, and they hadn't started randomly consolidating the shelves. I picked up some long lasting sundries like shampoo, hot sauce & spices at a 15% discount.
According to The Post & Courier, this store is not going to be converted into a Food Lion and there are no current plans for a new tenant in the building.
(Hat tip to commenter Alan, and possibly others -- there has been a lot of talk about Bi-Lo).
UPDATE 13 December 2021: Now a Food Lion:
