Living Here | Shopping options abound up and down the coastline
Shoppers have a range of stores to choose from along the Grand Strand, including malls, outlet centers and shopping-entertainment complexes.
The longest-tenured tenant in the Hammock Shops in Pawleys Island said he’s delighted with the March 2014 sale of the property to a Charleston family with strong ties to the Waccamaw Neck.
Jodi Truluck grew up in Pawleys Island, and her husband said Monday she was influential in his family’s purchase of the development, a staple in the area since the 1930s.
According to Georgetown County records, the family paid $6.1 million for the Hammock Shops, which was valued at $4,076,600 on the county’s books.
“It’s a neat piece of property,” said Brad Truluck, one of the family members.
The Hammock Shops are a landmark along U.S. 17 in Pawleys Island. The shopping complex was first developed by the Lachicotte family and placed next to the highway in 1938. Shops in the village are in a variety of small structures that vary in architectural style from residential-like buildings to an old-time country store. The village is heavily shaded by live oak and other trees.
There are about 25 shops in the village, including Whitmire, Pawleys Island Mercantile, Coastal Wine Boutique and The Original Hammock Shop.
Truluck said he doesn’t plan to raise rent.
Henry said he’s also confident that the Trulucks will maintain, and perhaps elevate, the quality of merchandise sold in the village.
