Parker’s Kitchen Opens First Location On The Grand Strand

The new gas station and convenience store Conway location marks the start of a major expansion into the area.

A Grand Opening was held on Monday for Parker’s Kitchen first ever Grand Strand location.

The gas station and convenience store is located along West Highway 501 in Conway. It marks the start of a major expansion into the area, with the company planning to open 20 locations throughout Horry County.

The expansion is expected to bring around 500 jobs for residents and represents a $200 million investment in the region. Company founder greg parker donated $5,000 to Horry County Schools during the ribbon-cutting ceremony as part of its “Fueling the Community” program. The funds contribute a portion of gas sales to local education.

Members from the Chamber of Commerce, HCS, and Conway Mayor Barbara Blain-Bellamy were in attendance. Two more Parker’s Kitchen locations are scheduled to open next month as part of the expansion.
