The much anticipated Spinx Market & Eatery has opened in downtown Greenville’s West End. What a delight it is!
Ever since I saw the initial renderings for this I was very interested in seeing it in person. It really is fabulous. The retro design is a wonderful throwback and innovative all at the same time. It is a much needed business in this area of Greenville. It’s in the former space for Cook’s Station which moved to brand new space at 515 Buncombe Rd.
Spinx of course is one of South Carolina’s largest developers and are known for gas stations and C-stores throughout South Carolina. This is a new concept for them and one that I believe they could use to expand certainly across South Carolina, but I would think this could do really well in other towns and cities that are like Greenville where you have a very walkable downtown area.
They do serve limited hot food but you can show up for a hot breakfast sandwich or buy their Spinx chicken of course. They also serve drinks believe it or not so if you need something late in the day or after work, they have you covered.
There is lots of outside seating. At the front of the building is a covered patio. That’s shaded in the morning. If you want sunshine, head out back to the patio there where the sun is plentiful.
Steve Spinx has said that with many of the goods that they are selling in the store, that they have tried to use local providers where possible. It’s a nice touch.
When I was there this morning, I asked several people what they thought both as they were coming into the store and leaving. To a person they all said it was great and they had this genuine smile on their faces – like the smile I had as well. The really like it. The response was instinctual in a way. It’s why I am saying that what Spinx has done with their new Spinx Market & Eatery is make commercial real estate fun again with these beautiful new design and concept.
Congratulations to the entire team at Spinx and their design and construction partners who pulled this off!
