Mount Pleasant Towne Centre Stores & Restaurants: Fall 2026

On September 30, the Town of Mount Pleasant's Commercial Design Review Board gave final approval to plans for the former Bed Bath & Beyond building at 1744 Towne Centre Way. The plans split the building between Crate & Barrel and L.L. Bean. It passed by consent motion, which meant no separate debate, under the label "Final Review of Site, Landscape, and Architecture." It took up four lines of a two-page meeting agenda. Neither retailer has announced a store, and no opening date has been reported.
The rest of Towne Centre moved faster in the same weeks. A taco restaurant closed in late August. A conveyor-belt sushi restaurant opened in late September. Thursday nights under the oaks are still full of free music. Restaurant changes at Towne Centre happen within weeks. The bigger retail change takes months, mostly out of sight, and the first thing shoppers will see is construction.
These dates come from the town's own records and local news coverage.
The building moved from a possibility in news reports to final design approval in seven weeks. In that same stretch, one restaurant space emptied and another filled. The project that will reshape the center got far less attention than either restaurant.
The August 26 meeting minutes describe more than a new coat of paint. Representatives of the architecture firms LS3P and SWA presented the request. When a board member asked about demolition, the design team said the building "would be demolished to the steel structure and supported while the new façade is constructed." Another board member asked about the entry canopy for Crate & Barrel. The answer was that the existing precast wall would be removed.
That tells you what the corner will look like next. Before any new logo goes up, the building will be stripped back to its frame. The minutes record no motion on the item at the preliminary stage. It came back on September 30 and was approved as final plans.
Several things are still unknown. As of October 12, no source we found reports a permit, a signed lease or an opening date, and neither company has publicly confirmed a Mount Pleasant store. The approval covers how the building looks: site, landscape and architecture. It doesn't amount to a store announcement. For now, the project has an approved design for two well-known retailers, and construction is the next visible step.
The same September 30 agenda had items that matter outside Towne Centre too. The Shem Creek Boat Landing Expansion received final approval. Revisions for Crooked Hammock at 1010 Hungryneck Boulevard were approved by consent. Several projects around town are going through the same board this fall. Like Towne Centre, each will show up first as site work.
The restaurant side of Towne Centre runs on a much shorter clock than the anchor stores. The Post and Courier reported that Condado Tacos & Tequila, the build-your-own taco spot in "East Cooper's largest shopping center," closed abruptly after less than three years. Its last day was August 29.
Three weeks later, the center had a new restaurant. Holy City Sinner reported that Revolving Sushi Kingdom opened September 21. During the soft-opening week through September 27, it was open from 4 to 8 p.m. Starting with its September 28 grand opening, the announced regular hours are:
The menu has more than 100 dishes, including sashimi, tempura, ramen, nigiri, hand rolls and dumplings. Small plates come around on a rotating conveyor belt. Larger dishes are ordered from iPads at the table and arrive on animal-shaped trains that run from the kitchen. Holy City Sinner describes it as family-friendly, and the trains are the kind of detail that gets kids to the table. The restaurant has a listing on the Towne Centre directory.
In late summer, the restaurant mix changed from one month to the next. The retail building is on a separate track of preliminary review, final review, permits and construction, and nobody has published how long that will take.
While the buildings change, the Thursday evening routine continues. Live Under the Oaks, the free concert series, runs every Thursday in October from 6 to 8 p.m. Johnny O' of 95SX emcees. You can bring takeout from a Towne Centre restaurant or buy from the weekly food truck, and Burtons Grill + Bar sells beer and wine.
Three Thursdays are left:
| Date | Band | Food truck |
|---|---|---|
| Thursday, Oct. 15 | The Novatones, crowd-pleasing rock | Krystyna's Polish Food |
| Thursday, Oct. 22 | Dallas Baker and the Pluff Daddy's, two-time Charleston City Paper Bluegrass Band of the Year | City Sliders |
| Thursday, Oct. 29 | Memphis Lightning, blues-built rock and roll | Zimos Gyros |
The town's fall events calendar lists the full lineup. If you're making a weekend of it, the 39th Annual Children's Day Festival is Sunday, October 18, from noon to 5 p.m. Admission and activities are free, and free parking with shuttles is available at Cario Middle School and Charles Pinckney/Laurel Hill.
The concerts take place in the same center as the rest of this story. On those evenings you can eat from the newest restaurant and walk past a building with approved plans to be stripped to its steel frame and rebuilt for two national retailers. The music runs through October 29. The building's timeline hasn't been published yet.
