New development in Little River to bring three national fast food chains. What are they?
A new development coming to Little River will bring three new restaurant chains to the area. Impeccable Development plans to open a Freddy's, Del Taco and Popeyes in Little River near the car dealerships on S.C. 9. Construction should finish near the end of 2025 with the businesses opening shortly after, said Jared Postal, the project manager for Impeccable Development, in an email to The Sun News. This will be the third Freddy's and second Del Taco and Popeyes locations Impeccable Development will bring to the Myrtle Beach area. The three chains had few to no locations in the Myrtle Beach area prior to these developments. 'Horry County and surrounding areas continue to be an incredibly attractive market for us. We feel the area's steady population growth, strong year-round economy, and unique seasonality make it a great fit for brands like Popeyes, Freddy's, and Del Taco,' Postal said. 'We've seen great tremendous consumer support in nearby markets and believe Little River is the perfect next step in our expansion.' Traffic along S.C. 9 has increased with the population growth in the Little River area. At least 8,000 more cars traveled daily on S.C. 9 in 2023 compared to 2013, according to South Carolina Department of Transportation data. Del Taco has been making moves into the Carolinas, with a location to open soon in Durham, North Carolina, and another to open along Dick Pond Road near Socastee. The Tex-Mex restaurant started in California but has grown to just under 600 locations, according to its website. Freddy's is a national chain serving burgers, fries and frozen custard. There are hundreds of locations across the nation, with 12 in South Carolina. Popeyes serves Louisiana-style fried chicken with other southern-style sides. It will be in direct competition with Bojangles, which has a store less than half a mile away along S.C. 9.

New Myrtle Beach area development includes Popeyes, Freddy's. Where will they be located?
Popeyes and Freddy's Frozen Custard and Steakburgers are expected to be built along S.C 544 in a new development. On March 3, signs for the restaurants were seen at 1930 S.C. 544 in Conway, near Myrtle Ridge Drive, where construction has already begun. The Freddy's is expected to open in September, said Kim Huynh, Freddy's public relations manager, in an email to The Sun News. A larger single-family home subdivision named Meadows Edge has been planned in the area behind the future restaurants, according to signs. Along with the two restaurants, Impeccable Development's website shows there will be a Parker's Kitchen gas station and Mako Express Wash built nearby. 'We don't have an exact exact timeline but working to open it as soon as possible,' said Jared Postal, the director of marketing with Impeccable Development. The Sun News reached out to Popeyes, Mako Express Wash and Parker's Kitchen for a request to comment but did not hear back. Popeyes sells Louisiana-style fried chicken with sides like biscuits and Cajun rice, while Freddy's serves frozen custard, steakburgers and hot dogs. There are currently no Freddy's in Myrtle Beach, but the chain is building a location along S.C. 544 closer to Surfside Beach, according to The Sun News. There is one Popeyes that opened in 2024 along U.S. 501 in Myrtle Beach.

Cracker Barrel's Spring Menu Features a Savory Southern Favorite for a Limited Time
Cracker Barrel has a new menu item just in time for spring — and fans of savory breakfast dishes are in for a treat. On Tuesday, Feb. 11, the Southern-inspired fast food chain announced tons of new sweet and savory menu items for the season — such as a brand-new Oreo stuffed cheesecake pancakes (a twist on their iconic strawberry cheesecake pancakes) and a so-called pancake latte. One of the most exciting additions to the menu is a warm favorite that's perfect for breakfast and dinner alike — the shrimp n' grits, which features "tender shrimp simmered in a savory and zesty creole sauce with Andouille sausage, sweet onions, celery and red peppers served over rich n' creamy 'dinner-style' grits, accompanied by grilled parmesan sourdough bread," per a release from Cracker Barrel. This special, limited-edition dish is only available for a short time and will be featured on the restaurant's beloved all-day breakfast menu.

New sweet additions to the menu include Cracker Barrel's strawberry icebox pie, which features a creamy pie filling in a graham cracker crust with fresh strawberries on top, the strawberry peach lemonade and spritzer to quench your thirst as well as the pancake latte, made with maple, espresso and steamed milk.

Plenty more pancake options are available as a part of the restaurant's signature pancake platters, including blueberry, pecan, chocolate chip, cinnamon spiced apples and country peach, and this filling breakfast dish also includes a choice of bacon or sausage as well as eggs cooked to order. Cracker Barrel customers won't need to worry about paying extra for eggs amid the current bird flu outbreak. As other restaurants like Waffle House have added surcharges to their eggs as prices continue to climb, Cracker Barrel revealed last week that they plan to keep the prices of their egg dishes as they are. "Egg surcharges? Never heard of it," the brand teased in an Instagram post on Feb. 6, revealing that the restaurant's rewards members could earn extra points on eggs. "Order eggs and get double the pegs now through next Wednesday 2/12 🍳 Available to all Cracker Barrel Rewards members." The shrimp n' grits, Oreo stuffed cheesecake pancakes and more are all available now, only for a limited time at Cracker Barrel locations around the U.S. Read the original article on People
