Retail Property For Sale

An Iconic Opportunity in the Heart of Mount Pleasant, SC
Few commercial properties command attention the way this one does. A striking octagon-shaped building — bold in architecture, impossible to ignore — sits at one of the most coveted addresses in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina, a premier coastal suburb of Charleston and one of the Southeast's most dynamic commercial markets.
Positioned along the highly trafficked corridor to Sullivan's Island, this property benefits from a daily vehicle count of 21,075 cars passing its doors. Sullivan's Island is no ordinary suburb — it is a historically rich, deeply affluent community steeped in Revolutionary and Civil War heritage that draws visitors, history enthusiasts, and well-heeled residents from around the world. This is not just foot traffic. This is destination traffic.
The Building
Originally home to a thriving mix of retail tenants — a beauty salon, surf shop, clothing boutiques, a cell phone store, and a check cashing business — the building was thoughtfully renovated in 2017 and reimagined as a donut shop, showcasing just how versatile this extraordinary space can be. Step inside and you'll find exposed beams, warm heart-pine floors on the upper level, and an abundance of natural light pouring through generous skylights — the kind of character and craftsmanship that simply cannot be replicated in new construction.
Major capital improvements have already been made for you:
-Roof & Skylights replaced in 2023
-HVAC replaced in 2020
-All restaurant equipment is conveyed with the sale
The Potential
Whether you envision a restaurant, café, boutique retail concept, creative office space, or something entirely your own, this building invites reinvention. Its distinctive octagonal design offers high visibility, exceptional signage opportunity, and a built-in landmark quality that money simply cannot buy. Businesses here are noticed.
This is a rare chance to plant your flag in one of Charleston’s most in-demand commercial corridors — and build something that lasts.
All restaurant equipment included. Recent capital improvements in place. Call to discuss the terms and conditions of sale.
