Charleston, SC, — johnnie-O, the beloved men’s lifestyle brand, has collaborated with M. Dumas & Sons, Charleston’s iconic men’s specialty retailer, to introduce a new flagship store in the heart of downtown Charleston, located at The Charleston Place.
The store opened in early September and has already experienced the energy and excitement of the Charleston market – further reinforcing the natural fit between the johnnie-O and M. Dumas brands and their connection with the coastal, Lowcountry lifestyle.
On Thursday, November 16th, the store kicked off a grand opening and holiday shopping event attended by media, influencers, community figures, and loyal brand fans including Southern Charm’s Shep Rose, as we usher in the holiday shopping season. Attendees enjoyed specialty drinks, food, and entertainment as they shopped the rich array of men’s and boys’ apparel, accessories, and footwear.
The new store is situated at 132 Market Street, within The Charleston Place, paying homage to Charleston’s rich history and style. This historic building holds special significance in the city’s fashion heritage as the original home of M. Dumas & Sons. The space has been meticulously restored to capture the essence of both brands, blending old-world charm with modern design.
This is johnnie-O’s first co-branded retail store in Charleston, though customers can also shop a selection of johnnie-O apparel and accessories at the M. Dumas location at 294 King St.
The store will welcome shoppers from Monday to Saturday, 10:00 A.M. – 6:00 P.M., and Sundays, 12:00 P.M. – 5:00 P.M.
John Collins, CEO of johnnie-O, shared his enthusiasm, saying, “The johnnie-o team is overwhelmed by the reception to our new co-branded store in Charleston Place. We are honored that M. Dumas, a local fixture in Charleston for over 100 years, chose to partner with our brand. Whether you’re strolling along the harbor, playing 18 holes nearby, or enjoying some of the city’s many culinary delights, Charleston is simply a special place. We are grateful for the warm southern welcome and look forward to serving the community in the months and years to come.”
Gary Flynn, President and Co-Owner of M. Dumas & Sons, added, “M. Dumas & Sons is proud to join forces with johnnie-O to introduce this dynamic new retail experience in downtown Charleston in the same building as the original M. Dumas store. Our rich history and commitment to quality align perfectly with johnnie-O’s values, making this venture a natural fit.

COLUMBIA, S.C. – Governor Henry McMaster and S.C. Department of Employment and Workforce (DEW) Executive Director William Floyd have announced that South Carolina’s unemployment insurance (UI) tax rates will decrease or remain the same for all employers in 2024. This is the third year in a row that the agency, the General Assembly, and the Governor have been able to lower UI business taxes thanks to diligent planning and a robust economy.
“There is no better time to be in business in South Carolina. The state’s leadership has worked hard to make strong financial decisions that maintain a healthy unemployment insurance trust fund which will benefit employers in the coming year,” said Governor Henry McMaster. “With a growing economy, a stable trust fund balance, and lower business tax, South Carolina proves once again that it is the ideal destination for business development and success.”
With a fully solvent and resilient UI Trust Fund balance of nearly $1.6 billion, South Carolina:
Set the 2024 tax rates to raise approximately the same level of revenue as 2023 and 2022.
Lowered rates for rate classes 2-19 by an average of 6% compared to 2023 levels; rates for classes 1 and 20 are set by statute and do not change from year to year.
Will not require any solvency surcharge due to the sufficiently high trust fund balance.
“Strong economic and wage growth have played a crucial role in maintaining our trust fund balance above the required threshold,” said Director Floyd. “Our agency is committed to building the workforce, facilitating job placement, and supporting employers. Our unemployment rate has steadily declined and now matches the low 2.9% rate of February 2020. And we have a record number of people working in South Carolina with one of the fastest growing labor forces in the country.”
DEW conducts an extensive analysis of factors such as the economy, the current state of the UI Trust Fund, projected unemployment rates, and estimated benefit payments and the revenue needed to pay these benefits to determine tax rates.
Although tax rates for most tax classes are lower than their 2023 levels, individual businesses may still move between classes based on their unemployment claim activity. All businesses with charges against their accounts are provided a “charge statement” quarterly to review and have 30 days to protest any charges that they do not believe should be on their account. Tax rate notices will be mailed to businesses on Monday, November 13, but as of Friday, November 3, employers can log into their State Unemployment Insurance Tax System (SUITS) account to see their 2024 tax rate.
Lower taxes are not the only way that the state is helping businesses. The Statewide Education and Workforce Development Act, passed earlier this year, will improve the state’s responsiveness to industry needs by aligning workforce development activities and providing real-time labor market information and analysis to drive workforce decisions. To provide the best workforce information and analysis possible, employers will begin submitting Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) codes for each employee and the number of hours the employee worked as part of the quarterly wage reports submitted through DEW’s tax system, SUITS. A SOC code is a statistical standard used to classify workers into the specific category that best matches their job.
This information must be supplied on the 1st quarter 2024 wage reports, due by April 30, 2024. DEW encourages employers to begin entering SOC codes in the fourth quarter of 2023 since that information will be saved in SUITS for future quarters.
“This data is important to accurately understand the composition or gaps of our state’s current workforce and, looking ahead, better anticipate and meet our employers’ future workforce needs,” said Director Floyd.

Downtown Restaurant Revamps Culinary Offerings Led By New Executive Chef
CHARLESTON, S.C. – Stars Grill Room has announced a new head chef, Daniel Wade, reigniting a wave of updates which began in September with the rebrand of the restaurant’s rooftop terrace now known as Satellite Bar.
Chef Daniel Wade’s culinary journey began working under a Michelin star chef in his home state of Texas. While he didn’t possess formal culinary schooling, Daniel quickly realized he had the backbone and passion to make the kitchen his home and committed to driving two and a half hours each day to gain valuable, hands-on experience from Chef Ken Wilkinson.
After honing his skills under the guidance of Chef Ken, Daniel ascended through the culinary ranks at various prestigious kitchens including the Baylor Club in McLane Stadium where he catered to gatherings of up to 2500 guests at a time. He then took on the role of executive sous chef at Barnett’s Whiskey House before assuming the position of executive chef at Moroso’s Fine Italian. In a true testament to his dedication, Daniel extended his culinary expertise to private dining experiences including whiskey pairings and wine dinners.
These kitchens provided him with opportunities to experience new techniques before Daniel opened his Argentinian live-fire pop-up in Waco. Without a kitchen, food truck, or brick-and-mortar, Daniel utilized the live fire and a few tables to share the locally-sourced vegetables and meat that he loved to cook – his favorite dish being smoked lamb shank over cactus grits.
When it was time to move on from the pop-up, Daniel threw a dart on a map and took a bold leap of faith to head south and serve as the executive chef at Stars Grill Room. Daniel’s goal is to bring Stars back to its original glory, introducing his extensive and diverse culinary experience to breathe new life into the space.
Stars Grill Room is located at 495 King St. Stay updated on upcoming announcements and offerings by visiting www.instagram.com/starsrestaurant.
NonprofitWill Receive $50,000 in Grant Support and Virtual Leadership Training to
Advance Economic Mobility in the Lowcountry
CHARLESTON – Bank of America today announced Carolina Youth Development Center (CYDC) as the 2023 Neighborhood Champion® awardee for its work advancing economic mobility and building up underserved communities in the Lowcountry. Through this multi-year grant funding and leadership training for the nonprofits’ leadership, programs and services addressing child and family well-being will be expanded as the CYDC launches the Families First program – an evidence-based model focused on crisis prevention and family stabilization.
As part of the bank’s Neighborhood Builders program, one of the largest philanthropic investments into nonprofit leadership development in the nation, Neighborhood Champions provides funding and leadership training to nonprofits that are advancing economic mobility and building up underserved neighborhoods.
Through the program, CYDC will have the opportunity to receive virtual engagement and technical assistance coaching, participate in virtual leadership training delivered by experts in the nonprofit sector on topics like human capital management, increasing financial sustainability and storytelling and a $50,000 grant over two years.
Founded in 1790, CYDC is a direct descendant of the Charleston Orphan House, America’s first publicly funded orphanage. Today, CYDC provides programs reaching over 900 children, youth, and their families locally each year. It cares for young people who are victims of physical and sexual abuse, neglect and abandonment, as well as providing resources and support to area families at risk of having their children removed from their home.
CYDC will utilize the Neighborhood Champions to support the launch of the Families First program. The program is an intensive home-based service that teaches families new ways to interact that improve overall functioning. The impact of Families First on the community will be significant. This program will reduce trauma in families and children by keeping children in their homes. Trauma reduction and improved family function leads to better educational outcomes, decreased legal involvement, increased employment opportunities, and stronger communities.
“The Carolina Youth Development Center has been providing necessary services within the Charleston community for more than 230 years. We have adapted and evolved as an organization to meet the needs of the most vulnerable members of the community, and we are preparing to evolve once more,” said Beverly Hardin, CEO, CYDC. “Being named this year’s Bank of America Neighborhood Champion will allow the Center to launch the Families First program to reduce trauma in families and children by keeping children in their homes. This critical inflection point has the potential to change the trajectory of families and children’s lives in our community in unprecedented ways.”
The invitation-only program is highly competitive, and nonprofits are selected by a committee comprised of community leaders and past awardees. Five nonprofits have been named as Champions in the Charleston area since 2019, with the bank investing $250,000 into these nonprofits.
“Nonprofits like the Carolina Youth Development Center and all our past Neighborhood Champions are vital to solving social challenges, improving communities and promoting economic advancement,” said Mark Munn, president, Bank of America Charleston. “Providing these nonprofits with flexible funding and leadership training not only positions these nonprofits for sustainable, long-term success, but demonstrates our commitment to creating real change across the Lowcountry, where we live and work.”
Since 2004, Bank of America has invested more than $300 million in nearly 100 communities across the U.S., partnered with more than 1,600 nonprofits, and helped more than 3,000 nonprofit leaders strengthen their leadership skills through the Neighborhood Builders and Champions program.
