New Myrtle Beach businesses: How the food, retail, nightlife scenes changed in 2020
The coronavirus pandemic served a lot of harsh blows to the tourism and hospitality industries this year, especially in Myrtle Beach. Nevertheless, plenty of businesses found a way to survive, and many opened the doors for the first time.
From bars to nightclubs to restaurants and even a drive-in movie theater on the outskirts of town, the Grand Strand saw more than two dozen new businesses arrive this year. Here’s what opened or is in the process of opening and how to find them.
