Branch Properties Announces Round of Tenants Joining Moncks Corner Marketplace

Local restaurants, retailers and service providers are set to open at the Publix Super Markets-anchored shopping center in the Charleston suburb

Atlanta-based real estate investment and development firm Branch Properties today announces several new tenants have signed on to open at the upcoming Moncks Corner Marketplace in Moncks Corner, South Carolina. The 75,267-square-foot Publix Super Markets-anchored shopping center broke ground last August and is expected to open to the public later this summer. The property is co-listed with Coldwell Banker Commercial Atlantic and Branch.

Moncks Corner Marketplace is located on the corner of U.S. Highway 52 and Cypress Gardens Road, less than 30 miles from downtown Charleston. A 48,387-square-foot Publix will anchor the center, marking the first location for the grocery chain in the suburb. The store will be a new prototype by Publix, offering a covered outdoor café area on the second floor. Moncks Corner Marketplace sits on 9.13 acres of land and offers 26,880 square feet of additional space for a range of occupant sizes and types.

“Moncks Corner is a fast-growing town that is in need of accessible, quality dining and essential shopping options to accommodate the area’s population surge,” said Branch Vice President of Leasing Robert Krumholz. “We are proud to bring an incredible variety of regional businesses to the center where we know they will thrive as integral parts of the community. As we have built out the tenant roster, we have sought out a diverse mix of offerings that cater directly to the neighborhood’s needs.”

Joining the lineup of tenants at the shopping center include locally owned pub Dog & Duck; pet retailer and groomer Woof Gang Bakery; family-owned taco kitchen Viva Tacos & Tequila; Japanese restaurant Kyoto Sushi & Hibachi; Chinese takeout restaurant Super Pan; locally owned beverage store EJ’s Wine & Spirits; nail salon Magic Nail; forestry insurance firm Swamp Fox Agency; dental support organization Pacific Dental Services; and hair removal studio Brazilian Wax & Spa by Claudia.

“We are thrilled to have another center completely pre-leased prior to completion and opening of the project,” said Coldwell co-listing agents Hannah Kamba and Tim Rowley. “This center highlights the rapid residential growth that Moncks Corner and the surrounding area is experiencing.”

Moncks Corner is a part of Berkeley County, the second fastest-growing county in the state of South Carolina. In the past decade, the city of Moncks Corner has nearly doubled in population and is now the fourth fastest-growing town in the state. This rise in population is expected to continue in the coming years, as the suburb offers a lower cost of living than nearby Charleston and has attracted a large number of residents migrating from northern cities.

In addition to Moncks Corner Marketplace, Branch is also overseeing the development of six other Publix-anchored shopping centers across the Southeast, including Perimeter Marketplace in Dunwoody, Ga.; Hugh Howell Marketplace in Tucker, Ga.; Merganser Commons at Dogwood Estates in Milton, Fla.; Wynnehaven Plaza in Navarre, Fla.; The Market at Hays Farm in Huntsville, Ala.; and Summerhill Station in Atlanta.
