Fire and Spice, 7971 North Woodrow Street Suite 5: 7 August 2022 no comments
Irmo Lunch spot Fire and Spice on Woodrow Street has closed. They were the follow-on operation in this storefront to China Pearl and, looking at their Facebook, it seems they will be succeeded by Roy's Grille, which is moving here from Lexington.

Wells Fargo, 6119 Saint Andrews Road: 3 August 2022 7 comments
Well, here's another bank branch closure. This one is at the corner of Saint Andrews Road and Old Bush River Road in Irmo. The real estate listing is here.
About the only other thing I know about it is that it was robbed in early 2018.

UPDATE 21 May 2024 -- Razed and on the way to being rebuilt as a Murphy's:
Driggers Photography, 6291 Saint Andrews Road: 2020s (Moved) 5 comments
I've noticed this mid-century ranch house in Seven Oaks a number of times over the last year or so, but saw lately that there was a for-sale sign on the property. From what I can tell, Drigger's Photography has moved, or perhaps gone to a primarily online presence.
Given the location I would not be at all surprised to see this place razed after it sells with some sort of professional building going in, but time will tell.
UPDATE 20 October 2022 -- As mentioned in the comments, this is now Modern Roofing:
Fuji Cafe, 7320 Broad River Road Suite G: 2019 1 comment
If you look closely at the first picture, you can, barely, see the Fuji Cafe signage still on the marquee of Suite G at Kennerly Crossing back in September of 2018. As nearly as I can tell from the Google reviews, it closed around 2019, and the suite is still empty.
Hardee's, 1325 Dutch Fork Road: Late March 2022 5 comments
Here's another Hardee's closed, this one on Dutch Fork Road. I'm starting to think there is something going on with the chain, as it seems quite a few have gone dark over the last year or two.
I see they just named a new CEO last week, but it's a press release, so there is no analysis there. (I will note that the corporate-speak is so thick there, that they think a paragraph like:
"We are excited to welcome Brandon to our talented Leadership Team. His entrepreneurial spirit, strong finance focus and results orientation will be perfect complements to our team," says Chief Executive Officer Ned Lyerly. "Brandon's proven track record in dynamic, multi-unit food service environments will be on display as we build on our momentum and create value for stakeholders in our business."
sounds reasonable..)

C & J Automotive, 6336 Saint Andrews Road: 2022 no comments
C & J Automotive is nestled on a narrow strip of land in between the train tracks and Saint Andrews Road in the Seven Oaks section of Irmo. It is not too far past Sno Biz.
It appears to me that the lot remains in business while they are looking for a buyer, so I am just putting an indifinite "2022" as the closing date.

Corner Pantry, 11090 Broad River Road: 2021 3 comments
Commenter Tom mentioned that this Irmo Corner Pantry Exxon at the I-26 Peak exit had been torn down for the ongoing road work in the area. By the time I got to the area, there was really nothing left to see, but you can view the old building at this LoopNet listing and by clicking through to old images in Google Streetview.

Anytime Fitness, 11107 Broad River Road: 2021 no comments
I was at the Peak Exit Food Lion off I-26 recently, and noticed that the strip's gym, Anytime Fitness had closed and is transitioning to Hitone Fitness in the near future.
Dougal's Thrift and Consignment, 7971 North Woodrow Street Suite 4: 23 November 2019 no comments
Dougal's was the follow-on operation in the storefront to Fins Aquatic Livestock & Supplies. I don't get out this way often, so I can't say much about it, although it's always nice to find a notary outside the national stores where it always turns out "We don't do those". The specific closing date was given by the owner in a google review post.
It looks like I have previously tagged shops in this plaza as "Woodrow Street", so I need to change all of those to "North Woodrow Street" at some point.
Main Street Home, 7740 Broad River Road: 24 July 2021 (Moved) 1 comment
Main Street Home was the follow-on operation in this Broad River Road location to Floor It Now. According to their Facebook page, they moved to the new location at 1711 Lake Murray Boulevard on 24 July 2021. This is shown in the second set of pictures (though they did not come out very well).
I am not sure what is next for this building. Apparently it was listed on LoopNet at one time, but currently does not seem to be there. Commenter Andrew has noticed that some of the adjacent property has been sold, so perhaps something is in the works.

UPDATE 30 September 2021: Added second picture, above, of the old location with the signage down.
