An old commercial strip center on U.S. 60 at the east end of Simpsonville is in the midst of a lot of new.
First, as of Wednesday, the former Short Stop store now will be Friendly Mart No. 1, joining a regional chain of stores, and will change from Gulf gasoline to Valero as soon as today, new owner Raj Singh said.
And The Winner’s Circle, a horse supply store that opened last year in the center, is tripling its space in the center, taking over additional store fronts that now stand vacant.
