Laundry / Rivers Variety Store / Jerry Thompson / The Locker Room, 10101 Garners Ferry Road (Eastover): 1990s (?) 2 comments
I noticed this place in Eastover on the west side of The Sumter Highway just past Horrell Hill last week. This former restaurant and pool hall has obviously been there quite a while, and has just as obvioiusly been out of business for many years too. (In addition to the clinging vines, most of the roof seems to be gone as you can tell in some of these shots). I suspect from the "Video Games" signage that it was last open during the video poker era, but not until the actual end of that era as it does not seem to be listed in the 1998 phonebook.
I got Rivers Variety Store and The Locker Room from the signs. Googling the phone number, (803) 783-5440 brought up the Jerry Thompson name.
UPDATE 21 Dec 2010: Added Laundry to post title based on the comments.
UPDATE 31 January 2023 -- This building has been razed:
Also adding map icon.

Yeah, it might have been called something like "Farmers Market Laundry," but I'm not sure. I think the Locker Room was open as late as 99/00, but that's about it. It was only there a year or two.

That was a laundry at one time, too. Mid eighties, IIRC.
