KJ’s Market Just Closed—Here’s the Scoop

KJ’s Market on Augusta Road in West Columbia has officially shut down—signs are gone, Google says it’s ‘permanently closed,’ and there’s even a note on the door. If you shopped there, you’ll have to hit up their St. Andrews Road spot or head to Walmart nearby. Wild that this location was a Bi-Lo just a few years ago! Anyone else surprised by how fast grocery stores flip? #Food #ColumbiaSC #GroceryNews

Lightning Strikes, Homes Damaged!

Wild weather alert! A lightning bolt sparked a fire in Columbia, SC, that tore through a neighborhood off Two Notch Road. Fire crews rushed in as flames jumped from house to house—one home was destroyed, another left unlivable, and seven people are now displaced. Thankfully, everyone made it out safely, but talk about a close call! Nature is wild, y’all. #Weather #ColumbiaSC #LightningStrike

New Coffee Spot Alert: Lazy Daisy Opens Soon!

Forest Acres is getting a seriously cute new coffee shop! Lazy Daisy Coffee Co. is opening July 21 at Cardinal Crossing, and they’re serving up Methodical Coffee, Ally & Eloise pastries, and a signature drink called The Daisy (with local honey!). Owned by a local couple, it’s all about cozy vibes and community. Bonus: first 50 customers get half off their next drink. Who’s checking it out with me? #Food #ColumbiaSC #CoffeeLovers

Will new offices mean better lunch options?

Two companies are setting up shop in a big Columbia office park, which could mean more jobs—and maybe new places to grab coffee or lunch. But with more people coming in, will we see a boost in local businesses, or just more traffic and longer lines? I’m curious if having more offices nearby would make your day-to-day better or just add to the chaos. What’s your take? #Business #ColumbiaSC #LocalLife

If you’re in the area, definitely find another way around. No one wants to get stuck in that mess! #Transportation #TrafficAlert #ColumbiaSC

Biscuitville Shuts Down a Columbia Spot

Biscuitville fans, brace yourselves—one of Columbia’s three locations just closed after barely a year! The Garners Ferry Road spot is officially done, but you can still get your biscuit fix at Clemson Road or Irmo. Biscuitville’s been a Southern staple for decades, and even though this one’s gone, they’re still popping up all over SC (Anderson’s getting one soon!).
