Dollar General, 5131 Lower Richland Boulevard: May 2019 (Moved) 2 comments
I like Dollar General well enough. It's kind of like a slightly down-market drugstore without a pharmacy, and can be easier to zip in and out of than a Wallgreen's and much easier than a Walmart. I'm not sure what the problem here was. It could be that they just want to build a freestanding store in the area as that is what most of their new stores are, and the area is building up. On the other hand, maybe it's not built up enough and they weren't making any money. (In other words: I don't know!).
There are some good exterior and interior pictures of the store in operation here.

UPDATE 11 July 2019 -- Here is the freestanding new location around the corner:
Biscuit House, 9001 Garners Ferry Road: September 2013 23 comments
When the original Biscuit House on Bluff road closed, there was an announcement that someone had bought the brand rights so as to open new Biscuit House locations inside convenience stores, much as Subway and Blimpie do. I believe that this one, in a Corner Pantry at the corner of Garners Ferry Road and Lower Richland Boulevard was the first such, and it opened sometime after March 2012. Somewhere, I have a picture of this location in operation, but can't put my hands on it right now. At any rate, as far as I know, this just leaves one other, in Irmo, from this initial roll-out.

UPDDATE 8 October 2013: As promised, I have found and added the pix of the place in operation.
