Stray animals overwhelm Lowcountry counties, animal shelters

VARNVILLE – Make no bones about it, Hampton County has gone to the dogs. The rural, Lowcountry county has been in financial disarray and is now under state police investigation. It also suffers the stigma of being the former home of South Carolina’s most-notorious man: confessed swindler and accused family slayer Alex Murdaugh, whose ongoing criminal saga remains in the spotlight. Now, on top of all that, Hampton County is increasingly overrun by stray animals. County employees and nonprofit pet organizations are struggling to respond to an overwhelming number of wild dogs and cats in the 560-...

BJ's Wholesale Club eyes a new location in Horry County. Here's what we know

A popular northeastern wholesale supermarket chain is looking to expand into North Myrtle Beach after opening its first Grand Strand location last year. BJ’s Wholesale Club submitted development plans to the City of North Myrtle Beach for a new location between Champions Boulevard and South Carolina Highway 90. The proposal comes after the company opened its first Horry County store in Myrtle Beach in February 2025. The warehouse chain uses a club system where only members shop in its stores, similar to Costco or Sam’s Club. BJ’s is based in Massachusetts and, according to its website, BJ’s has 8.5 million members across its 270 stores in 22 states. The Sun News was unable to reach the company for comment, but preliminary plans submitted to North Myrtle Beach reveal some details about the proposed location. The building would be around 106,628 square feet, including a 3,400-square-foot tire service area, with 381 parking spaces. The rendering also describes signage for a gas station.
