Parker’s Kitchen opens new South Carolina location near Beaufort County

Parker’s Kitchen has added another Lowcountry location, officially opening last week near Hardeeville.

The convenience store, located at Highway 170 and Argent Parkway near Beaufort County, is the newest Parker’s Kitchen in an area where the brand already dominates the gas station landscape.

The company has 11 locations across Hardeeville, Bluffton and Okatie, two on Hilton Head Island and six north of the Broad River in the Beaufort area. Its southern-inspired Parker’s Kitchen food like breakfast biscuits and chicken tenders will be served Monday through Friday from 4 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday from 5 a.m. to 7 p.m. at the new location.

Parker’s has 110 stores, nearly 2,000 employees across South Carolina and Georgia and completes more than 1.1 million transactions per week, according to the company.

It is expanding into new markets, including Jacksonville, Florida and Columbia, South Carolina, and plans to open 17 new stores this year.
