Two new businesses start operating in Florence

Florence, South Carolina – Several new businesses have recently started up in Florence, generating quite a bit of enthusiasm among locals. Last week, Michaels opened its doors in the former Bed, Bath & Beyond location near Magnolia Mall on David McLeod Boulevard. This store offers a wide range of arts and crafts materials, from canvasses to clothing.

In addition, Boot Barn launched its new outlet in what used to be Stein Mart on West Palmetto Street by the Florence Mall. Customers are already expressing their fondness for the selection of boots available at the store.

According to the store’s website, Boot Barn in Florence, South Carolina aims to provide more than just a shopping trip. It’s designed to be a tailored experience with a professional team ready to assist customers. Services include hat shaping and cleaning, catering to both new and used cowboy hats.

Local government officials have noted that these new shops are not only beneficial for residents of Florence but also attract visitors from the wider Pee Dee area.
