Moya Professional African Braiding (Moved) / R & R Taxes / Wonderful Grace African Caribbean Latino Market / Express Barber Beauty, 2426 Broad River Road: 2019-2022 no comments
This block of three storefronts on Broad River Road, next to the former Tires & Beyond looks to be completely vacant now. It's interesting to take a look at Google Streetview over the years:
It appears that the A suite (on the far right) was Express Barber Beauty until sometime after August 2019.
Wonderful Grace looked to be moving into that suite around November of 2021, and was gone by September of 2022.
R & R Taxes moved into the B suite sometimes after August 2019, and was already gone by November 2021.
Moya was there in the C suite from at least August 2011 through September 2022, and has since moved down the road to 3106 Broad River Road, and is apparently still there.
Save A Lot, 2016 Harden Street: 24 August 2019 9 comments
Save A Lot was the follow-on operation here to Columbia Food Fresh Market which closed in 2010. This location closed briefly in December of 2018 when the operator closed this store and nine others. Since then, the place has been run by a unit of the Columbia Housing Authority, which seems like a bad idea, and in fact, has not worked out. I'm not even sure how they were able to take over the franchaise and branding.
At any rate, they are pulling the plug at 5:00pm on 24 August 2019, although as the WLTX article notes the shelves are already bare and the place appeared to be closed when I drove by at 6pm on the 21st.

Harveys Supermarket, 2230 Decker Boulevard: Spring 2018 8 comments
Here's another Harveys, this one on Decker. As with all the other Harveys, this one used to be a Bi-Lo, and I did a closing for that here.
The strip mall anchored by this storefront is High Point On Decker, and it is about at the top of the hill. Just down the hill from here is another strip mall with both a Food Lion and a Rite Aid, so I'm not sure another grocer will want to locate here.
UPDATE 17 May 2018 -- This store is now closed:
Aldi, 6075 Saint Andrews Road: 15 August 2016 (temporary) 11 comments
Well, this has already been mentioned in Have Your Say a number of times, but the Aldi on Saint Andrews Road in Irmo has closed for about a month of remodeling.
Frankly I'm not that big a fan of the chain -- I've only been in one once, and it kind of gave me the willies. I felt like a rat in a maze. Some people swear by it though, and this one should be open again on 22 September.
