I have been in this store a number of times over the years, but what I recall most about is is that on the South side of the lot, there is a very vibrant stand of Wisteria which I took pictures of one year, and which, should I ever find them again, I will post here.

I am generally more of a Walgreens customer, and there is one across the street, which may have played into this closing (the Google reviews suggest other possibilities), but for whatever reason, I always found this store to easier to get into than that one so if I were coming up Saint Andrews Road I might stop in to get toothpaste, or batteries or whatever. The entrance was one of those automatically folding (rather than sliding) doors that I always found a little off-putting, but I suppose it got the job done.

Hard Bean Coffee, 662 Saint Andrews Road: April 2025 (Moving)   no comments

Hard Bean was the follow-up in this building to Maurice's Piggy Park which closed in November of 2023.

Hard Bean was here in the summer of 2024 until April of this year when they announced they were moving to Lexington. Apparently the new address will be 129 Cromer Road, which appears to be on the other side of Sunset from the Chick-Fil-A (though back a bit further).

I don't know the reasons for the move of course, but I've always thought this storefront and the next door one are hard to get in and out of, plus of course, there is a Dunkin with coffee right there as well.

I was not really familiar with this small Asian grocery storefront, though I have done closings on this wing of the plaza before. Commenter Gypsie says it has probably been closed since late last year based on review dates.

I believe there is still another Asian grocery on Saint Andrews Road down near Quail Valley.

I noticed this vacant car rental storefront on a recent visit to St Andrews Square on Saint Andrews Road. I'm not sure when they closed or moved, but they are still on the roadside sign. (On the othe rhand, so is the Newsstand, which has been gone at least 20 years!)

This storefront featured here back in 2010 when it ceased being a Food Lion, with Big Lots having moved in by September of 2011. Now with the ongoing Big Lots implosion, it will be vacant again in the near future.

Google suggests this Orange Theory Fitness opened about six years ago. This Reddit post suggests they closed on 29 December and you can (sort of) still see some of the equipment in there.

I'm not sure what the theory of orange is...

Steve's Classic Burgers, 612 Saint Andrews Road Suite 7: April 2025   13 comments

I hesitate to post a closing this far out, but The Free Times has already weighed in, so why not?

Steve's Classic Burgers opened in this little Saint Andrews Road strip mall back in 2015, and I admit I have never gotten around to trying it, though I have noticed the billboards from time to time. Ashland Park is just not really on my radar, and I don't think I have been back there since Sandy's closed. The place sounds as though they do a bit of outreach as well as cooking, with Bibles on the tables, something that puts me a bit in the mind of Edna's #2 on Pinehurst, which unfortunately I never got any pictures of before it closed and was torn down.

At any rate, with retirement and other issues to deal with, the owners have decided to close next Spring, so if you want to check it out, you still have time to make several visits.

I believe I got a battery at NTB once and it was fine. I was not really aware of this particular location, but it seems a bit hard to get in and out of to me. Hopefully the staff were able to go to the Harbison location called out on the closing sign.

We'll see what comes in next here, probably something else car related.

Here's the Saint Andrews Road location of Badcock. As we have seen several times recently, the chain is bankrupt and closing all stores.

St. Andrews Shopping Center lost another anchore back in 2013 and came through it OK. We'll have to see what happens this time.

Greedy Rascals, 655 Saint Andrews Road: Early 2024   3 comments

Greedy Rascals hot-dogs was the follow-on operation in this spot to Tripp's Fine Cleaners. There was also a location on Rosewood which closed before this one did. I'm not sure about the exact closing date, but the google reviews suggest it was around March of 2024.

I'm also not sure of the exact status of the chain. This Facebook page suggests they are opening a location on Airport Boulevard, but I can't quite make out the details from the information there.

UPDATE 12 August 2024: Changed the closing date from "Spring 2024" to "Early 2024" based on commenter Gypsie's input.
