St.
Helena Island, SC – May 2018 / Newsmaker Alert / Parker’s
has officially opened its newest retail location on St. Helena Island,
S.C., offering fresh, Southern-inspired food, friendly customer service
and competitively priced fuel for customers throughout the region.
The
architectural design of the company’s 53rd store, located at 856 Sea Island
Pkwy, was developed with sensitivity and respect for the historic character
of St. Helena Island.
“We
took a dilapidated, metal-sided building and replaced it with a beautiful
new convenience store defined by inspired Lowcountry vernacular architecture,”
said Parker’s President and CEO Greg Parker. “We are incredibly honored
to be part of the St. Helena Island community.”
The
new location features a full-service Parker’s Kitchen with extended food
service hours from 5 a.m. to 7 p.m., seven days a week. Customers can enjoy
fresh Southern Fried Chicken Tenders made from scratch daily as well as
a full breakfast bar, daily specials, family meal deals, sandwiches and
cookies.
The
new Parker’s store on St. Helena Island, which is the company’s 15th location
in South Carolina and 13th store in Beaufort County, offers a full selection
of signature Parker’s amenities, including:

“Our newest
Parker’s location will serve the northern Beaufort County barrier island
communities of St. Helena, Frogmore, Dataw Island, Hunting Island and Fripp
Island, providing customers with the full Parker’s experience,” said Parker.
“We want to bring our Fast, Fresh and Friendly service to the areas in
and around St. Helena Island.”
