It’s hard to even think about leaving picturesque Daniel Island when everything you need is right at home. Daniel Island has the perfect amount of shopping facilities to keep you going, without losing the charming island feel. And if you’re desperate for the outlets, you can venture just down the road to the Citadel Mall.
It’s our neighborhood grocery store, but it thinks it’s a huge supermarket, packing everything you need into an easily navigable space. Check out the fantastic produce, bountiful beer and wine selection, and renowned (and dangerously justifiable) Publix bakery.
Quick prescription refill? Got it. Knee compression sleeve? Yup. Cough suppressant, cough drops, or coffee flavored lollipop? Done, done, and done. Who needs a drug store the size of a small school? Not this island.
Just about every need for Fido or Mittens is covered here, including all-natural food and treats, pet beds, collars, and toys. You can even bring your pooch in for some pampering in the… wait for it… self-serve dog spa.
You can’t miss the rainbow of beach cruisers parked outside this store just as you turn the corner onto downtown DI. The owner is a local, a true bike lover, and as much an advocate of cycle safety as he is a master of cycle style. A wide range of accessories and gear are also available, and bike rentals are offered, too.
This place is part gas station, part neighborhood market, and does both wonderfully. The 20 vehicle fuel bays are shiny and efficient, and the Refuel rewards program will save you ten cents a gallon. The market offers all the regular conveniences, plus a shake/smoothie machine, USDA choice and prime steaks, and huge front porch with big screen TVs for you to relax with a beverage.
Ladies, start your engines. Threads, kicks, and all the fixings from brands like Melly M, Tart, and Kenneth Jay Lane will have your credit card all revved up.
And just keep those aforementioned engines running with a stroll a few doors down. Fun and unique, but always lovely and feminine, this women’s shop features more spot-on brands like Knitted Dove, Ella Moss, and Lilla P.
Folks come in for flawless custom framing, then can’t help but stay awhile and browse the fabulous collection of gift items, from yummy bath and body products to bountiful gift baskets.
