MOUNT PLEASANT, S.C. (WCIV) — A new veterinary emergency facility is opening Thursday in Mount Pleasant. The Veterinary Emergency Group on North Highway 17 is opening its doors, and they prepared to help any animal brought to them.

The new Mount Pleasant location is the facility Veterinary Emergency Group has opened in South Carolina. The other location in the Palmetto State is Upstate in Greenville. Lowcountry residents are now able to bring their pets in for all types of emergencies.

Its arrival in Mount Pleasant comes after nearly half of South Carolina's counties were listed as "high need" areas on the U.S. Department of Agriculture's veterinary shortage map.

The Mount Pleasant location will be open 365 days a year and 24/7. Its purpose is for the Veterinary Emergency Group to become an extension of a pet's primary veterinarian in times when they aren't available.

Staff also promise a transparent relationship with every patient and owner who walks through their doors.

"I think the fact that pet owners will really be able to connect with us because we’re really dedicated to an open concept," Dr. Alex MacLean, the Medical Director for Veterinary Emergency Group, said. "They get to stay with their pet for the entire visit. They get to participate in their pet’s care. Everything is upfront and transparent so they can be a part of their care."

Patients will also be able to stay with their pets as long as they remain in the care of the staff in the Emergency Group. Staff say medical doctors are prepared to handle any emergency that comes their way at all hours of the day and night, and the hope is to continue to grow.

"Our facility is set up to handle any emergency. We can do surgery, endoscopy, we have x-ray radiology capabilities, and we’re set up to hospitalize patients 24/7, and owners can stay in the hospital with their pet the entire time if they want," continued Dr. MacLean. "We definitely want to continue to grow in the area, so we’re here to provide support for people, whether they’re in Mount Pleasant, Charleston, the greater South Carolina community and anyone is welcome."

The community will have a chance to see the facility for themselves and attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony Thursday at noon.

Homeowners from the Old Village section of Mount Pleasant employed the “strength-in-numbers” approach at the March 4 Town Council Transportation meeting, with numerous residents alternately approaching the Town Hall lectern to ask local officials about specific street improvement projects at Whilden Street.

Neighbors were especially concerned about traffic conditions worsening along the road’s intersections in light of the opening of the Seabird Inn. The hospitality venue, they predicted, would only exacerbate motor vehicle traffic, as well as foot traffic in an area devoid of adequate safety measures for drivers and pedestrians alike.

With the Old Village neighborhood fast emerging as a tourist destination, those who reside there informed Mayor Will Haynie and fellow transportation committee members of an increasing number of failure-to-yield and T-bone collisions across a three block stretch of Whilden Street and beyond.

Resident Blaise Barber fired the opening salvo by communicating the need for a four-way stop sign at Whilden and Hibben streets, as well as proper curbs and sidewalks in the surrounding area.

“I’m also concerned about the influx of employees needed to run the Seabird Inn,” she stated. “Perhaps residential stickers would be necessary to help solve this.”

To that point, Barber acknowledged a shortage of room to cater to the additional parking that a “nice” hotel, restaurant or event facility would require to function.

Fellow homeowner and mother of four, Christine Lloyd, counted 13 young children who currently reside on Hibben Street who cannot safely access the nearby library or playgrounds with drivers “flying around” and no sidewalks to speak of.

“It’s really kind of sad to say that I cannot trust my 9 year-old child to walk to the Village Library, which is two blocks from [her house],” she began. Lloyd went on to detail her hardship in trying to guide her children to safety along the area in question, including a 7 year-old with cerebral palsy and a vision impairment.

“I’m nervous. I usually take a second adult with me. He needs his hand held and I have to navigate and say out loud what he’s coming upon: ‘Here’s the sidewalk, here’s the hole. You need step over.’ It’s really treacherous, and I do think we really need a four-way stop at the intersection,” Lloyd continued.

“I every day dread driving from my house to Coleman [Boulevard] because you can’t see traffic coming. There’s a big, grand oak that literally gives you a blind spot once you look left, right, left. I myself have almost hit many people and it’s just not safe.”

Charleston-based restaurateur Ben Towill was also in attendance and informed transportation committee members that he is “fully in favor of slowing down traffic and any sidewalk improvement,” as prepares to open his Seabird Inn.

Haynie reminded the audience that current Whilden Street streetscape improvement plans are only concepts and not an ultimate drawing on a final proposal. The Town, he added, is only in the nascent stages of the process.

Mount Pleasant Director of Engineering & Development Services Brad Morrison promulgated a similar message, stating that there’s really been no hard engineering or designs to this point in an area comprising three intersections (Whilden at Hibben Street, Whilden at Venning Street and Whilden at Morrison Street).

Morrison further noted that 10-15 years worth of traffic calming discussions have resulted in a safety action plan, while also reporting a $15 million grant the Town has received to implement that plan.

Previous efforts have seen speed humps installed in the Old Village area, along with radar feedback signs.

Moving forward, said Morrison, the intent is to rethink the configuration of the Whilden Street corridor by adding safer crossings, high-intensity flashers and possible LID (Low Impact Development) efforts along the stretch.

“We want to get speeds down at the entrance of Old Village,” affirmed the Town staffer, who later mentioned higher visibility for pedestrian crossings as an additional priority.

The next steps would include engaging the community to elicit comments and/or suggestions in formulating a rock-solid plan.

Weighing in on the prospect of residential parking stickers as a potential solution to some of the traffic chaos was Councilmember Howard Chapman. He cautioned Old Village homeowners that the sticker program wouldn’t only affect commercial entities, but also their visiting friends and family members who drive into area.

On a different, but related topic, Councilmember Daniel Brownstein asked Morrison to prioritize the possible identification of additional land uses for a more pedestrian-friendly environment in the form of an all-way stop at Whilden and Hibben streets.

“I think that we need to be moving towards a four-way stop, irrespective of the rest of the project, and maybe on a totally different timeframe,” offered Brownstein. “I think there’s a lot of potential to Whilden Street. If you look at it as it exists today, it’s wide and it’s straight, and it might as well be a dragstrip right off of Coleman Boulevard. I think if you look at the sidewalks, you see, as the residents have noted, there’s a patchwork of existing sidewalks of varying levels, as well as in places where it ends and you’re walking on grass.”

Haynie concluded the committee session by apprising residents that the Town can access crash data for the three intersections to get a sense of the day-to-day risks incurred by drivers and pedestrians. He then provided background on Seabird Inn.

“I just want to say that the hotel was not approved by the council when it came up for a vote. It went to a lawsuit and a settlement was approved. That was a long, hard slog ,,, I was sued personally for fighting that. This is not the kind of thing that the Town just approved, and this is one reason why and we need to be very careful as we move forward.”

“Just because we get sued does not mean we have to settle. I have no regrets of that battle or being sued because now we’re dealing with the consequences of that.”

Two Mount Pleasant restaurants about a mile apart recently turned out the lights.

Outback Steakhouse, an East Cooper fixture for the past 25 years at 715 Johnnie Dodds Blvd., is no longer in business.

The closing comes after parent company Bloomin’ Brands of Tampa, Fla., decided in February to shutter more than three dozen financially underperforming restaurants in its portfolio, which includes Outback, Carrabba’s Italian Grill, Bonefish Grill and Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar.

“We periodically review our asset base and, in our latest review, we made the decision to close 41 underperforming locations,” CEO David Deno said in a report by Nation’s Restaurant News. “The majority of these restaurants were older assets with leases from the ‘90s and early 2000s.”

Deno said a variety of factors resulted in the decision, including sales, how close customers live to a business location and how far they might travel to patronize it. He also noted the brand plans to open 40 to 45 restaurants this year. Locations for the new dining spots were not disclosed.

The Mount Pleasant restaurant opened in 1999 as the third Lowcountry Outback venue. Two others launched in West Ashley and North Charleston in 1993. Those sites remain open.

Lights out

Also now closed is The Grit Counter.

The restaurant opened five years ago at 320 Wingo Way in Mount Pleasant, next to sister dining spot Grace & Grit in the hotel district near the base of the Ravenel Bridge. A sign on the door says it’s temporarily closed for renovation and will become part of Grace & Grit, possibly as an events venue.

Grace & Grit, which is open for dinner Tuesday through Saturday and on Sunday for brunch, also could add brunch on Saturday to its lineup once the expansion is completed.

More than a dozen tenants are coming to a new grocery-anchored retail development near Summerville that's almost completely leased several months before construction is set to be completed.

The One Nexton commercial node on Nexton Parkway will include restaurants, service-industry providers, a bank and workout site in addition to a new 48,387-square-foot Publix supermarket.

Food-and-beverage offerings coming to the development include Catrina's Cantina, Jersey Mike's Subs, Woodhaven Pizza, Ruby's Bagels, Indian restaurant Naan Appetit, and Dulce Churros, Ice Cream and Cocktails.

The Packie Wine & Spirits retail shop will join service providers Roper St. Francis Healthcare, Heartland Dental, Noire Nails and insurance firm Swamp Fox Agency.

Workout site Basecamp Fitness and Fifth Third Bank round out the announced tenants coming to the site, which is still under construction.

"It's crazy that it's already leased, and we are months away from opening," said Jeff Yurfest, who is handling leasing for the site for The Shopping Center Group. "It shows strength of the market with the amount of people moving to Nexton."

One outparcel site remains to be leased next to the 351-unit Camellia One Nexton Apartments under development on the combined 23-acre One Nexton site, Yurfest said.

The multifamily project is expected to be completed in May or June, according to Nexton spokeswoman Cassie Cataline.

Opening dates have not been announced for any of the commercial tenants, but construction is expected to be completed by the fall on the retail center. It sits across Nexton Parkway from a developing Harris Teeter-anchored commercial site. Harris Teeter is tentatively set to open in the spring.

On the way

A rhyming round of slushy sweet adult beverages is on tap for Upper King this spring with the planned arrival of Zachary’s Daiquiris.

The bar, opening in the former Basil Thai restaurant site at 460 King St., is being touted as “Charleston’s Chic Daiquiri Destination.”

Zachary Elliott, a South Carolina entrepreneur, filed for a liquor license recently for the property, and his social media accounts tease the spring opening of the sing-songy locale.

Elliott is also affiliated with Charleston’s Bourbon & Bubbles, Mesu and Republic Garden & Lounge, and is a partner with the Sweetberry Bowls franchise that has locations in the Carolinas, Georgia and New Jersey.

Elliott did not immediately respond for comment on the daiquiri venture.

The space at 460 King, a former bicycle shop and Huddle House, has been empty since spring 2021, when Basil closed its longtime downtown restaurant.

Gassing up

A Savannah-based convenience store chain is looking to add its first location in Mount Pleasant.

Parker's Kitchen plans to build a 5,175-square-foot shop on S.C. Highway 41 at Wood Park Drive, next to the Lowes Foods-anchored Market at Mill Creek Shopping Center.

Business

Site plans presented to the town show three options for the building's placement: with fueling stations parallel to the store facing the highway, with gas pumps in the rear, and with the store on the corner near the street and pumps set perpendicular to S.C. 41.

The 6-acre site where the store is planned near the entrance to The Gates at Dunes West subdivision is owned by Highway 41 LLC, an affiliate of auto supplier Oakwood Group of Dearborn, Mich. It bought the property for nearly $1.3 million 16 years ago.

Heads up

A new salon focusing on relaxation and rejuvenation of the scalp and hair is now open in West Ashley.

Charleston Head Spa at 1420 Ashley River Road offers a serene atmosphere and personalized treatments to improve scalp health, according to its website. The business, owned by Molly and Josh Smith, is open weekdays by appointment.

Dance steps

A new place to twirl and tumble is being proposed in Mount Pleasant.

The owners of Tapio School of Dance and Gymnastics want to build a 9,500-square-foot studio between existing buildings at 600 and 608 Seacoast Parkway, a frontage road next to the Mark Clark Expressway west of Long Point Road, according to site plans presented to the town.

The school is currently at 455 Long Point Road in a shared-use structure. The proposal is making its way through the town's review process.

Three area hospitals have been sold in a $2.4 billion deal to North Carolina-based Novant Health by the previous owner, Tenet Healthcare of Dallas, Texas.

The sale of East Cooper Medical Center in Mount Pleasant, Hilton Head Hospital in Hilton Head and Coastal Carolina Hospital in Hardeeville includes the associated physician clinics and other operations, according to a news release from Novant Health.

“We are beyond thrilled to welcome our new team members and grow our presence in South Carolina,” said Carl S. Armato, president and CEO, Novant Health, which is headquartered in Winston-Salem. “Novant Health’s long-term vision is to transform the health and wellness of these communities through expanded specialty services and clinical expertise. We are energized and united behind our cause to create a healthier future together by building connections with patients and clinicians in coastal South Carolina.”

The East Cooper Medical Center includes 15 physician clinics. Hilton Head Hospital includes the Bluffton Okatie Outpatient Center and 12 physician clinics. Coastal Carolina Hospital in Jasper County includes the Tidewatch Free-Standing Emergency Department in Bluffton, according to the news release.

Novant Health said continuity of care is a priority and appointments and procedures will continue as scheduled during the transition period. “We are working closely with our new Novant Health team members to ensure a seamless transition for patients and team members,” Joel Taylor, market CEO of Hilton Head Regional Healthcare, said in the release. “We are eager to move forward together in support of our teams and know decisions will be made with our community’s needs at the forefront.”

“There’s a lot to be excited about when planning for our future,” Tyler Sherrill, CEO of East Cooper Medical Center, said in the release. “Novant Health is known for elevating clinician leadership to provide patients with a trusted health care experience through world-class technology, personal connections and convenient access to care.”

Tenet Health also owns a cluster of imaging centers and urgent care clinics in York, Rock Hill and Fort Mill, but those South Carolina properties were not part of the deal for the coastal hospitals.

“We understand that taking care of our patients starts with taking care of our people, so I’m delighted to join a leadership team that strives to not only be a healthc are provider of choice but also an employer of choice,” Ryan Lee, CEO of Coastal Carolina Hospital, said in the release. “I look forward to expanding the resources available to our team.”

Novant Health supports health and wellness programs in the community, including health education/screenings, community health workers and mobile cruisers. Each year, Novant Health provides hundreds of programs that serve patients, neighbors and some of their communities’ most vulnerable citizens, the company said in the release.

The Novant Health network consists of more than 1,900 physicians and more than 38,000 team members who provide care at more than 800 locations, the release said.

How do you choose between window repair and replacement?

Window repair may not always be your best option. In certain situations, a pro may recommend a window replacement instead.

Repairing windows rather than replacing them can preserve time and funds. However, you should only choose repair if an experienced pro recommends it. The right call between repairing or replacing your windows hinges on factors such as the severity of damage and the state of the window.

Here are some standard window problems that usually call for repair work instead of outright swapping the windows out.

There are times when a window is beyond repair, and installing a new window is the better decision. The top window issues that usually necessitate replacement instead of fixing are:

What are common window replacement costs in Mount Pleasant?

What should you consider before hiring a window repair pro in Mount Pleasant?

Take the following important aspects into mind before you choose a window repair specialist in Mount Pleasant.

Handling repairs yourself could provide upfront savings but may be more expensive in the long run. Applying basic things like caulk is feasible alone, but professionals can assist in avoiding more complex risks.

Talk to multiple window companies to get estimates from them. Decide if paying for the service makes sense, or if you are capable of managing the repair on your own.

Before calling in a professional, look at our window type list above. This will help you know which kind of window you need repaired.

Damaged windows could increase bills due to reduced energy efficiency. Heat gain or loss through windows leads your home’s heating and cooling systems to operate using more energy to keep your house comfortable.

High-grade, energy-efficient windows may save you about $313 yearly, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and Data.gov. If you've noticed more expensive bills, discuss efficiency improvements with your window professional.
