What's Coming to Charleston SC This Fall? 10 New Openings to Know
If it feels like Charleston is constantly getting a new restaurant, shop or neighborhood spot, you're not imagining it.
This fall is beinging a pretty fun mix of new restaurants, fashion, home, design and everyday favorites. From Downtown Charleston to Mount Pleasant, West Ashley, Hanahan and the growing Point Hope community.
Here is what's coming to Charleston SC these are the 10 of the openings I'm keeping an eye on.
Cheeky | Downtown Charleston
Opening September 30
The team behind Husk, Marbled & Fin, Delaney Oyster House and Minero is adding another restaurant to the C
harleston lineup.
Cheeky is coming to 151 Meeting Street, just steps from the Gibbes Museum, with a seafood-forward menu inspired by coastlines around the world. Think oysters, sashimi, seafood towers, whole fish, fresh pasta and cocktails. With a slightly more lively, social feel than a traditional fine-dining restaurant.
This one feels like it could become a new Downtown dinner-and-drinks favorite.
Angel Biscuit Co. + Emily | West Ashley
Coming to 835 Savannah Highway
This is actually two concepts in one space, which makes it particularly fun.
During the day, Angel Biscuit Co. will focus on biscuits, breakfast and coffee. Then the space will shift into Emily in the evening, bringing the New York-based Pizza Loves Emily restaurant group to Charleston with pizza, burgers and a more nighttime feel.
It's coming to the former Ruby Sunshine space on Savannah Highway, adding another recognizable name to the West Ashley dining scene.
And personally, I'm very interested in the biscuit-to-pizza transition.
Philosophia | Point Hope
Expected October
If you haven't been paying attention to Point Hope lately, this is a good reason to start.
Philosophia, the Greek-inspired restaurant from TYSM Hospitality, is opening its second Charleston location at 826 Foundation Street in Point Hope. The restaurant is expected to bring the same concept as its Mount Pleasant location, along with a bar and seating for about 20.
It's another example of Point Hope developing into a place were you can actually spend an afternoon or evening without having to leave the neighborhood.
And more restaurants are on the way there, too.
Reenie's | Hanahan
Expected mid-Novemeber
Hanahan is getting an old-world tavern from chef Mark Bolchoz, the chef behind Cane Pazzo.
Reenie's will take over the former Dashi space at 1262 Remount Road and is inspired in part by Bolchoz's grandmother and the Irish pub traditions of Mike Calder's, a Charleston institution from the early 2000s. The concept will blend Lowcountry influences with the traditions of Ireland.
I love seeing concepts like this move beyond the Peninsula and into neighborhoods that are developing their own personalities.
Crate & Barrel | Mount Pleasant
Coming to Mount Pleasant Town Centre
This one is especially notable because it would be Crate & Barrel's first South Carolina location.
Plans call for the brand to take part of the former Bed Bath & Beyond space at 1744 Towne Centre Way, alongside another major fist for the state: L.L. Bean.
For anyone who loves home design, this is probably one of the openings to keep on the radar.
L.L.Bean | Mount Pleasant
Coming to the same Mount Pleasant location
And yes, we're getting an L.L.Bean, too.
The outdoor brand is also planning its first South Carolina store, with submitted plans showing it occupying roughly 15,500 square feet of the former Bed Bath & Beyond space. Crate & Barrel would take the neighboring portion.
Between this and Crate & Barrel, that corner of Mount Pleasant is about to feel very different.
Philip Jeffries | Charleston Design District
Opening soon
If you're into interiors, this is one to know.
Luxury wallcovering brand Philip Jeffries is opening a new showroom at Navy Yard Charleston, its first location in the Lowcountry.
The 1,458-square-foot showroom will be designed as more of an immersive destination for designers and clients, with wallcovering installations and a dedicated designer workspace.
It's another piece of the Charleston Design District's growing collection of design-focused brands.
Brown Jordan | Charleston Design District
Expected late fall
And the Design District isn't slowing down.
Luxury outdoor furniture brand Brown Jordan is opening a 4,000-square-foot showroom at Navy Yard Charleston later this fall.
Rather than a traditional furniture store, the showroom is being designed around complete outdoor living environments, which feels particularly fitting for Charleston.
This is one I'm especially curious to see in person.
Hachiya Ramen | Point Hope
Coming later this year
Another addition to Point Hope's growing food scene is Hachiya Ramen, planned for Goddard, the community's apartment and retail destination.
Point Hope says the restaurant is expected to open later this year, adding another type of dining option to the community alongside Philosophia and Ye Old Fashioned Ice Cream & Sandwich Cafe.
Point Hope is becoming one of those places where the list of things coming next is almost as interesting as what's already there.
New King Street Retail
Fall 2026
King Street is getting a little refresh of its own.
New retail activity includes Johnnie-O by M. Dumas & Sons, which is relocating to King Street, as well as a new Palmetto Moon location planned for this fall. Additional retail openings are also being tracked for the corridor.
And with new restaurants and shops continuing to pop up around Downtown, it's another reminder that Charleston's retail scene is still evolving, even in the places that already feel established.
My Take
One of my favorite things about Charleston right now is that the growth doesn't look exactly the same everywhere.
Downtown is getting new restaurants and retail.
Mount Pleasant is adding bigger national names.
West Ashley is getting more interesting food options.
Hanahan is developing its own restaurants scene.
And Point Hope is becoming a much more complete community with dining, retail, wellness and everyday conveniences.
That's the part I find most interesting.
It's not just about what is opening. It's where it's opening.
Because new restaurants, shops and gathering places can tell you a lot about how a neighborhood is changing, and sometimes the most exciting part is watching a place develop a personality or its own.
So, if you how to pick one opening from this list to try first...
I'm curious which one you'd choose.
