Exciting Developments on Main Street in Lexington, SC
Lexington, SC, is buzzing with news of a brand-new hotel and a modern steakhouse set to make their home on Main Street! If all goes according to plan, residents and visitors could enjoy the benefits of this exciting development as early as summer 2026.
A New Hotel on the Way
First off, let’s talk about the hotel. Plans are in motion to construct a four-story hotel that will house more than 100 rooms, an event venue, a restaurant, and potentially an amazing rooftop bar. The developer, who is investing a whopping $1.4 million into this venture, recognizes that this site has been untouched for about 15-16 years. That’s a long time for a prime location to be sitting idle!
Town leaders gave a thumbs-up to the hotel developers after careful reviews by the board of appearance back in January, March, and a final nod in November. Now, all eyes are on Lexington County, which holds the key to the land disturbance permitting that will allow construction to kick off in the next 60-90 days.
Community Excitement
Local business owners are embracing the hotel with open arms. They see it as a golden opportunity to attract more visitors to Main Street, especially since there has been a significant growth spurt in the downtown business community over the last two years. Local retailers are thrilled, and many express a pressing need for accommodations for wedding guests and other travelers.
A Steakhouse Replacement
The steakhouse promises a delicious menu filled with hand-cut steaks, homemade pasta, and fresh seafood. Renovations are already underway, making sure that the historic charm of the building shines through while welcoming a fresh new vibe for restaurant-goers.
Wingstop Joins the Mix
But that’s not all! There’s also a new Wingstop under construction at 736 W. Main St. within the Town Square shopping center. This location, which used to be home to Cricket Wireless, is in a bustling area that sees over 47,000 cars daily. Hungry customers can expect to indulge in their favorite wing flavors soon, although an official opening date is still in the works.
The Town Square shopping center isn’t just all about wings—it’s also home to a variety of businesses, including Food Lion and RF’s Corner Grill. With the new hotel and steakhouses coming to life, it seems like Main Street is on the path to becoming the go-to destination for both locals and visitors alike!
A Friendly Welcome
As the council member points out, the town is all about being business-friendly, ready to work with potential developers and visitors. The impending hotel and restaurants mark a positive step toward growth and vibrancy for Main Street in Lexington.
So, get ready, Lexington! Exciting changes are around the corner as the town prepares for a new chapter in its local scene. Whether you’re in the mood for a delicious meal or a cozy place to rest, Main Street is gearing up to offer it all!
