The Junction Kitchen & Provisions opened its doors in 2015 when owner & operator Kimana Littleflower, a seasoned pro of the Charleston F&B scene, saw a need for something different in the
Park Circle community she calls home.
Like breakfast all day, awesome sandwiches, an eclectic brunch menu, and some creative cocktails thrown in. Since then, The Junction has grown as a community gathering hub and is still one of the only full-service breakfast joints in the area, as well as a private event space.

Lava Salon was started in 2006 by Geoff and Noel Richardson. They are very serious people in that they seriously love what they do and hope their #LavaLuv shows every time you enter one of their salons.
"Our team is a hard-working squad of stylists comprised of a blend of diverse backgrounds and skills. We are committed to quality results through year long continuing education and creating an inclusive environment of community and equality for all."

Rebel Taqueria started as a simple Taco Tuesday pop up back in 2011 with Chef Lewis Kesaris and Bartender Paul Nettles. Today Rebel Taqueria is a full restaurant and bar on Reynolds Ave. North Charleston, SC. The menu uses influences from traditional Mexican cuisine, street food classics and Southern staples. At the bar you can find Charleston's best selection of Tequilas, Mezcals and more with creative cocktails + local beers on tap. Live music, trivia, bingo, NFL Sunday Ticket and other entertainment can be found at Rebel on a regular basis.

At Roadside Blooms, we believe floral designs should feel alive, untamed and true to the natural world they come from.
We specializes in creating artful floral designs that celebrate texture, movement and the beauty of each season.
We are committed to sustainability — every retail arrangement is made with 100% American- and locally
grown flowers, and our weddings average 80% domestic blooms.
We dance through the seasons, embracing what nature offers and are always seeking fresh ideas that break
down barriers in the floral industry.
We care about our clients and are honored to be part of the special moments in their lives.
We believe love is for everyone. As proud allies of the LGBTQ+ community, we celebrate all love and are
honored to serve as a trusted vendor and friend!
