This national retailer plans to open a new store in Columbiana Centre mall

A growing company that offers well-known fragrances is setting up a shop in a popular Columbia mall. Perfumania, which has more than 100 stores across the U.S., is coming soon to the Columbiana Centre mall in the busy Harbison shopping area northwest of downtown Columbia. There are banners up on a storefront in the mall touting that Perfumania is “opening soon” there and that the store will offer “over 1,000 authentic fragrances at discounted prices.” The new Perfumania shop will be neighbored by the Build-A-Bear Workshop and a Miniso store. The fragrance shop is going into a space that formerly was home to Francesca’s, which closed earlier this year .

It carries men’s and women’s fragrances, from companies such as Dolce & Gabana, Lancome, Paris Hilton, Giorgio Armani and many others. The company has been in a growth pattern, with industry publications noting earlier this year it planned to add 43 new locations throughout 2026 and 2027.

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.

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-...

COLUMBIA — Dick Harpootlian’s latest challenge to Five Points institution Group Therapy has officially ended, but a similar challenge to the neighboring Five Points Saloon is ongoing.

7 Dishes That Filled the New Year's Day Open House Table

I use AI to help draft these articles. Every recipe and every fact in them is checked before publishing. The New Year's Day open house was less a party than a custom.
