Downtown park will offer green space, outdoor seating, fountain
Economic Development Director Kimberly Spears says the park will offer a lot of green space, outdoor seating and a fountain. Magnetic South Brewery will also have outdoor seating as well as an outdoor bar facing the park, allowing guests to buy food and drinks without having to go inside the brewery.
Wright said he and the city wanted to create a place where people could hang out and get a bite to eat, drink a beer and listen to live music. A place parents could bring their families to, including their dogs.
The trio behind Magnetic South Brewery hope to open its doors this September, a few months later than the original plan to open this July.
The setback is nothing to Paul Cain, Adam “Cuzzin” Willier and Tanner Coombs, the owners of Anderson’s soon-to-be largest brewery. They originally had plans to open at a location in Clemson, but the pandemic led to them choosing the old S&P Grocery building (most recently a CarQuest Auto Parts) in downtown Anderson.
Located on Main Street across from Kimbrell’s Furniture, the 10,000-square-foot building will be Anderson’s third brewery and part of a larger development the city has planned. Complications from COVID-19 and extensive planning slowed the process down a bit, but progress has been made.
