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.

SC-22 routes narrowed to a few choices. It could displace scores of Horry residents

John and Katie Clairmont moved to their dream, log cabin-style home on 2 acres in Murrells Inlet six years ago. But that dream may vanish when the South Carolina Highway 22 Extension Project undergoes construction. The project, which has been in the works for nearly two decades , is in the public scoping stage where the initial 22 potential routes have been narrowed down to three. Two of which appear to run directly through the Clairmont’s home should they move forward. “I recognize the fact that Horry County is growing and needs infrastructure improvements. But that being said, they have to take into consideration the families that live in this area,” John Clairmont said. Formerly titled the Southern Evacuation Lifeline project (SELL), the highway intends to improve hurricane evacuation and traffic congestion while aiding services across the Waccamaw River. It’s currently slated to cost $1.56 billion for environmental mitigation and construction funded through Horry County’s RIDE 4 program . But the Clairmonts and other residents in the area are not convinced the project would serve the stated purpose and would increase traffic and development. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is administering a series of studies before authorizing a permit

Horry County man placed on ‘most wanted list' for overgrown grass, lawsuit says

A Conway area man claims he was wrongfully arrested by Horry County Police officers because his grass was too tall, according to a new lawsuit. The lawsuit, filed in Horry County on Nov. 5, names Horry County, HCPD Police Chief Kris Leonhardt, Deputy Chief Justin Wyatt and several other officers, who Kevin Hobbs accuses of making false accusations against him in order to obtain an arrest warrant. The allegations stem from a series of alleged interactions between HCPD officers and Hobbs from August to October 2024. Hobbs claims that he was arrested for “declining to discuss an alleged overgrown grass-complaint” near his front door, according to the lawsuit. The complaint also states that Hobbs was placed on Horry County’s most wanted list, put in jail and then prosecuted for 13 months. The Sun News has requested the documents relating to Hobbs’ arrest. A spokesperson for Horry County and HCPD each wrote that the county and police department does not comment on any ongoing litigation in text messages to The Sun News. Hobbs is seeking punitive and actual damages to be determined by a jury. Dispute over grass On Aug. 30, 2024, Hobbs had been at his home on Lesia Lane

Wawa could be coming to Horry County-but some residents aren't happy about it

Wawa could be coming to Horry County. The Planning Commission unanimously approved Thursday plans to allow a new gas station convenience store to open in Little River – but residents aren’t happy. The request, brought by WW LLC as an agent for Baytree SC LLC, sought to amend a 3.14-acre parcel at Water Grande Boulevard and Highway 9 East for a convenience store with gas pumps and a car wash. Although the lot is currently zoned for commercial use, developers needed permission to install gas pumps at the site. The Pennsylvania-based convenience store chain has something of a cult following, particularly for its sandwiches and other fast foods. A new Horry County store would mark the first location in South Carolina. But not everyone’s pleased with Wawa’s plans. Hundreds of residents showed up at the Planning Commission meeting in opposition to the proposed convenience store. Several residents shared public comments expressing concerns that increased traffic would strain infrastructure, endanger public safety and displace wildlife. None of the comments shared as public input were supportive of the plans for a new Wawa. “That intersection is one of the highest collision intersections … I’m already taking my life in my hands trying

Myrtle Beach restaurant moving after decades in yellow building. Where is it going?

A chicken restaurant that’s been in the heart of downtown Myrtle Beach for decades is moving. Maryland Fried Chicken , located in its yellow building at 939 N. Kings Highway adjacent to another longtime restaurant, Mammy’s, is planning to relocate at the beginning of the year, workers said. It is unclear why the fried chicken restaurant is moving or what will happen to the building. The building is owned by the First United Methodist Church of Myrtle Beach. Messages left with a restaurant manager and a church official were not returned before publication. The restaurant’s new location will be at 1803 N. Kings Highway, which is the former location of Bistro B restaurant . The restaurant, which opened in April 2025, combined a dining establishment with the popularity of pickleball by having three pickleball courts in the back of the building where diners or others could play. The former owner, who declined to provide his name, said on Wednesday that the restaurant closed on Sept. 1 because he planned to retire. Before Bistro B, the building hadn’t had a business located there in about 15 years.

Horry County WWII memorial honors Conway brothers, 4,000 others who served

CONWAY — On a clear day in the late 1930s, Horry County residents may have looked skyward to a wonderous sight. A fabric-covered, 40-horsepower Taylorcraft clipping the treetops — piloted by either James or Edward Norton, adventurous Conway High School seniors who took up flying after their parents said a motorcycle would be too dangerous. Within a decade, both men would be killed in action after carrying out a daring daylight air raid over Nazi-occupied Ijmuiden in Holland — but not until their B-26 Marauder was able to drop bombs on the heavily defended gas refinery. The Nortons — affectiona...
