Pitt Stop, 125 Rolling Meadows Lane: January 2024 no comments
In keeping with yesterday's theme, here's another Pitt Stop closing. This one is at I-26 exit 119 at the intersection with US-176. This whole strip is closed now, but over the years has acted as a mini-travel-plaza, with gas, a convenience store (possibly with trucker showers), and attached restaurants. The restaurants have included Maggie May's and Nathan's, and the gas pumps have been branded first as Exxon and in the end as Shell.
There appears to be some road-work ongoing on Rolling Meadows Lane, as you can see from several of the pictures. I'm not sure if that's what drove this closing, or it is just coincidental (certainly the location was not robust, at least for restaurants).
UPDATE 21 February 2024 -- In fact the roadwork is taking over this space, and Rolling Meadows Lane is now completely closed:
Nathan's Famous / Chester's, 129 Rolling Meadows Lane (I-26 Exit 119 / US-176): Late 2017 1 comment
Nathan's/Chester's was the follow-on operation in this I-26 rest stop location to Maggie Mae's.
I'm wondering, since the closing sign is somewhat similar, if it were under the same ownership as the Dutch Fork Nathan's. I'm going with late 2017 as the closing date as the place is not yet fully stripped inside.

UPDATE 30 August 2021: Add a real street address, update tags and add map icon.
Maggie Mae's Restaurant, 129 Rolling Meadows Lane: 2008 (Closed Again) 2 comments
I used to see this place whenever I was driving down I-26 to Charleston and wonder what it would be like. My guess was that it was a no-nonsense meat & 3 for hungry travellers, but I'll never know for sure now. If I had to speculate, I'd say it wasn't far enough out of town anymore and that traffic was now stopping at national chains before getting this far. (It's just a few miles up I-26 to Harbison or up I-77 to Two Notch). From all the work being done inside though, it looks like something wil set up in the building.
UPDATE 9 June 2009: Well, something did set up there -- Maggie Mae's! Looks like they're open again.
UPDATE 6 Nov 2010 -- Closed again:
UPDATE 11 November 2011: Found an extra interior picture and added it above.
UPDATE 24 January 2024: Adding tags and map icon, and putting the full street address in the post title.
