Inlet Square Mall - Redevelopment

Plans for renovation and redevelopment of Inlet Square Mall are scheduled to begin in the fall of 2008. They include demolition of the current food court, the creation of a new outdoor courtyard between Books-A-Million and Regal Cinemas and the addition of two new anchor stores, as well as additional small shop space. The expansion will ultimately increase the size of Inlet Square from its current 433,345 square feet up to 550,000 square feet.

In conjunction with this expansion, the parking lot will be resurfaced, landscaping will be added in the parking areas and at the center’s entrances, and monument and pylon signage will be upgraded to increase the visibility of Inlet Square from the two major frontage roads.

"Plans respond to the growing population on the south end of the Grand Strand", said principals Chuck Fancher and Nate Fishkin.

"As well as improving business at the shopping center's stores, the renovation could also boost development on the Strand's south end", said Myrtle Beach Area Chamber of Commerce spokeswoman Nicole Aiello.

"There is a need down there for more shopping," she said. "With the success of Coastal Grand and Tanger Outlets and the other malls in the area, it really shows that people want to shop. It's definitely going to be great for the south end to have a redeveloped shopping center at Inlet Square."
