A popular South Carolina supermarket chain is planning several new stores in the Lexington area.
Spinx, which was founded in Greenville more than 50 years ago and has stores across the state, has plans for two locations in western Lexington County. One is located in the 4300 block of Augusta Highway near Priceville Road in Gilbert. The other is in the 700 block of US 378, just east of Charter Oak Road.
Both sites have large signs that read ‘Future site of Spinx — Fresh food car wash.” Each sign shows an artistic representation of a Spinx store.
The location along Augusta Highway is about four miles north of Gilbert High School, while the location on US 378 near Charter Oak Road is about a quarter mile east of the Hendrix Crossing shopping center, which is also home to a Publix .
Opening dates for the Spinx stores have not been publicly announced. Construction has not yet started at either location.
According to the company’s website, Spinx was founded in Greenville in 1972 by Stewart Spinks. The chain has evolved from simple gas stations to larger convenience stores known for their cuisines including fried chicken. The company has locations in South Carolina, including several in Columbia and a store in Irmo.
