|
Georgetown, SC – December 2023 / NewsmakerAlert: Parker’s – a nationally acclaimed convenience store company and food service leader that was honored earlier this year by SC Biz as one of the Best Places to Work in South Carolina – hosted a ribbon cutting for the new Parker’s Kitchen at 230 Church St. in Georgetown, S.C. on Nov. 27.

Strategically positioned on Hwy. 17 in Georgetown County near the Great Pee Dee River Bridge, the company’s newest retail store offers award-winning, Southern-style, made-from-scratch Parker’s Kitchen food for breakfast, lunch and dinner as well as a wide range of convenience items. Parker’s Kitchen currently operates 78 retail stores in Georgia and South Carolina. The second Parker’s Kitchen location in Georgetown is part of the company’s expansion into the Myrtle Beach, S.C. area.

“As our corporate footprint continues to extend north into Myrtle Beach, we saw Georgetown as an opportunity to expand our popular Parker’s Kitchen food concept to meet the growing needs of customers in coastal South Carolina,” said Parker’s founder and CEO Greg Parker. “We’re thrilled to bring a second elevated convenience store experience to Georgetown County and look forward to deepening our connection with the local community through our Fueling the Community charitable giving program, which donates a portion of gas sold on the first Wednesday of every month to support public and private schools in every community where we operate stores.”

The inviting store in Georgetown, which is open 24 hours daily, features signature Parker’s Kitchen Lowcountry-inspired architecture with a modern, contemporary glass-front façade, lime-washed brick, handsome bracketry and designer lighting. The retail footprint offers indoor dining as well as the cleanest bathrooms in the industry.

The newest Parker’s Kitchen in Georgetown features popular grab-and-go options as well as a hot bar serving breakfast, lunch and dinner daily and convenient electronic kiosk ordering. Popular items include never-frozen, antibiotic-free, double-breaded Southern Fried Chicken Tenders, signature mac ‘n’ cheese and potato logs. Additional highlights include the Parker’s Kitchen Spicy Chicken Tender Sandwich, freshly made salads, gourmet coffee, freshly brewed sweet tea, Fancy Lemonade, 28-degree beer, fountain drinks with Chewy Ice and a wide range of convenience items.

A wide range of Parker’s Kitchen items are prepared fresh on-site and are available seven days a week. The entire menu is handcrafted on-site from the freshest ingredients by Parker’s Kitchen chefs who take pride in cooking for the communities where they live and work.

The new Georgetown store offers six fueling positions with unleaded, premium unleaded, ethanol-free marine and high-flow diesel as well as three high-flow diesel fueling positions for trucks.

In 2020, Parker’s was named the Convenience Store Chain of the Year by Convenience Store Decisions, which is the industry’s highest honor. The company has been honored by Food and Wine as one of America’s Best Convenience Stores and by Convenience Store News as the Convenience Foodservice Leader of the Year.

Since its founding in 1976, Parker’s has grown to become an award-winning company that was recently voted America’s #3 gas station brand by USA TODAY readers.
