KIAWAH ISLAND, S.C. (March 28, 2025) –  Freshfields Village, the premier open-air shopping and dining destination just 30 minutes from downtown Charleston, is welcoming two new retailers this spring and unveiling three refreshed and expanded spaces for beloved shops and eateries. These additions continue to elevate The Village’s diverse mix of shopping, dining and wellness offerings for both the local community and Lowcountry visitors.

“We are proud to see Freshfields Village continue to grow as a dynamic destination, where new concepts and refreshed spaces reflect the evolving needs of our community,” says Catherine Bickford, director of leasing at EDENS. “These additions are a testament to the momentum and vitality of The Village, as we remain dedicated to offering a thoughtfully curated mix of retail, dining and wellness experiences that enrich the lives of both locals and visitors.”

More on the new openings, refreshes, and expansions below:

• Harvest, a new concept from Java Java founder, Jaki DiGeronimo, is celebrating its grand opening at Freshfields Village on March 29, 2025. The restaurant will offer a health-forward menu featuring grain bowls, salads, smoothies and cold-pressed juices, with a focus on nourishing, thoughtfully sourced ingredients.
