What's New @ Margaritaville Charleston
Margaritaville
Charleston has a maritime feel from days gone by. The tall wooden mast
rises past heating and cooling ducts draped in sail cloth. A tin roof
cargo dock at the right rear of the store has a rustic feel. Old ship's
cannons poke through the wall next to the cargo dock. Much time and
effort went into the store's rehab, and it shows. Check it out next time
you're in the low country.
Many of the shops in Charleston's historic district have retained the
old brick walls, hardwood floors a general feel of the Civil War era. Margaritaville
did all this while incorporating the Buffett lifestyle throughout the
interior of the King Street location. A seaplane crashes through the
wall next to the 20 foot mast on the imaginary sailboat across from the
tin-roofed storefront. Canons fire across the width of the shop, lodging
iron balls in the 100-year old bricks. Song lyrics from A Pirate Looks
at Forty and expert reproductions of old pirate flags help to convey the
old spirit of Charlestown. Margaritaville intends to become
involved in the community exactly as we have in Key West and New
Orleans. Participation in the staid Chamber of Commerce and King
Street Merchants will be offset by more leisurely pursuits and the
activities associated with them. |
