Folly Beach Favorite Taco Boy Taqueria Coming to Laurens Road in Greenville, South Carolina, Summer 2023

February 11, 2023 by 0 Comments
Read More

ASHEVILLE, NC – Founded on South Carolina’s Folly Beach in 2006, Taco Boy serves scratch-made signature tacos and other Mexican-inspired eats and drinks. The family of neighborhood taquerias has four distinct locations: the flagship restaurant on Folly and others in downtown Charleston (2009), Summerville, SC (2019), and West Asheville, NC (Dec. 2022). The new Asheville location also marks the taqueria’s first in-house tortilleria, producing heirloom corn tortillas using traditional volcanic milling equipment and the ancient process of nixtamalization, transforming corn into masa.

This summer, Taco Boy will open in Greenville, SC, at 1813 Laurens Road, in the former Farmhouse Tacos. Though nearly a turnkey opportunity, big changes are afoot. The opening will follow a complete transformation of the interior and exterior spaces, including the hardscaping. Steering the project is Greenville-based builder David Caldwell of Caldwell Constructors Inc., who’s working with the design team, global architecture firm Gensler, and Greenville-based civil engineering firm Isomer Project Group.

“We’re really focusing on curb appeal,” says Taco Boy founder and co-owner Karalee Nielsen Fallert. “We love the stretch of Lauren’s Road and proximity to Swamp Rabbit Trail. The location has served as a catalyst to improve that whole space. We’re expanding the outdoor patio for gathering and dining. And while the shell of the building will remain, the interior won’t be so recognizable.”

As in Asheville, the new Greenville location will also include an in-house tortilleria, which is currently being guided by Asheville-based chef/consultant Luis Martinez, founder/owner of Tequio Foods, which supports indigenous Mexican farmers.

Diners can expect a citrus- and salsa-infused feast for the senses. Taco Boy offers scratch-made tacos, quesadillas, and sides including rice and beans, chipotle slaw, Mexican street corn, guacamole with surprising optional toppings and other satisfying starters, plus a bevy of from-scratch margaritas and Mexican-inspired craft cocktails, and a weekend brunch menu that delivers breakfast tacos, huevos rancheros, churros French toast, and other Mexican flavors to the table. The restaurant is diet sensitive, offering vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options. Taco Boy is committed to using responsibly sourced, high-quality ingredients. Find the menu and more details at tacoboy.net.

Hiring Soon: Taco Boy will soon begin hiring for management and senior leadership positions in the Greenville market. Upcoming senior leadership jobs include Culinary Director, Beverage Director, Distiller, Staff Accountant, and VP of Construction. Jobs will be posted at tacoboy.net/jobs, or interested candidates may email their resume to info@tacoboy.net.

Taco Boy is also seeking local artisans and craftspeople to contribute to the new Laurens Road location. Interested Greenville-based painters, muralists, ceramists, and sculptors should email info@tacoboy.net.

ABOUT TACO BOY

Longing for the ocean-side fish tacos of her youth, Taco Boy was created in 2006 by Charleston restauranteur Karalee Nielsen Fallert, a founding partner and co-owner of a dozen restaurant ventures in the Holy City and a leading advocate for community projects and women-led initiatives. She’s been recognized for her contributions to Charleston’s culinary community and for revitalizing Charleston neighborhoods. She’s also the founder of hospitality management group All Good Industries.

In addition to Taco Boy’s current and future location in Greenville, SC, the restaurant has plans to open two other locations in 2023: one in South Asheville’s Biltmore Park and another in a soon-to-be- announced Carolina location. Though expansion is underway, the taqueria will remain independently owned, with a long-term goal of being an employee-owned business.

“The impetus for our growth is to create a positive impact for our team members and the communities we call home,” says Fallert.

A TAQUERIA FOR THE SOUL – COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT

Taco Boy’s purpose is to use the power of tacos to cultivate people and build community, which is the driving force for creating growth opportunities for team members and also for supporting local charitable initiatives within in each market.

As part of a commitment to create positive impact and growth opportunities for team members, Taco Boy offers generous benefits for full- and part-time employees, as well as an emergency financial assistance program, all of which supports long-term career growth and upward financial mobility.

When it comes to building community, in Charleston, Taco Boy has supported The Green Heart Project, a garden-based experiential learning nonprofit. In addition to nutrition and hunger initiatives, Taco Boy also supports education, sustainability, equality, mental health, and other efforts that improve the world around us. Other Charleston-area organizations Taco Boy has supported include Charleston Pride, Surfers Healing (autism advocacy), Waves for Women, SC Sea Grant Consortium, Pay it Forward Charleston, Berkley County School District, and The Trevor Project (LGBTQ suicide prevention). Taco Boy’s first community partner in Asheville was bike advocacy nonprofit Asheville on Bikes, which was the beneficiary for the VIP Preview Party.

At the new Greenville store, Taco Boy will continue the restaurant’s charitable mission and will be partnering with local Greenville nonprofits for a variety of fun and fundraising initiatives.

How Lillie’s of Charleston built a successful family business while honoring her Gullah heritage

How this Amazon seller built a successful family business while honoring her Gullah heritage

CEO and co-founder Tracey Richardson shares the “secret sauce” behind the success of her Black-owned small business, Lillie’s of Charleston.

“May you never feel unwanted, unloved, or hungry.” That’s the motto of Lillie’s of Charleston, a family- and Black-owned business that makes barbecue sauces, hot sauces, and spice mixes with flavors that date back generations to home cooks and ancestors in the coastal South.

CEO and co-founder Tracey Richardson said it began in the early 1950s in Charleston, South Carolina, where her father spent his summers in the kitchen with his grandma and Aunt Lillie. No matter who came to visit, the women never let guests leave feeling unwanted, unloved, or hungry. 

Channeling the mantra, Richardson’s dad went on to own The Rib Shack in downtown Charleston, where he introduced his sauces in 1985. This was the genesis for the family bottling the sauces named after their beloved aunt, who represented a generation that taught their kin how to cook with love.

But the “special sauce” behind Lillie’s of Charleston goes further than that. What some people don’t know is these flavors date back to the local Gullah culture. “Gullah” is the name for the people, a language, and a culture of the coastal regions of South Carolina, Georgia, and the surrounding Sea Islands. Derived from English dialects and African roots, the language has been spoken for generations, dating back to the first slaves in the region. Due to the isolation of many plantation communities, the Gullah language perpetuated and is still alive in the coastal South. 

“In honor of an American heritage that has yet to be thoroughly discovered and is begging to be preserved, we named many of our products using Gullah expressions,” said Richardson. The family recipe for “Hab Mussy” hot mustard barbecue sauce is a two-time award winner, a huge accomplishment in the barbecue circuit, in part because South Carolina is iconic for its mustard-based sauces.

According to Richardson, the biggest contributors to Lillie’s of Charleston’s success have been joining Amazon’s Black Business Accelerator and using Fulfillment by Amazon. In the last year, with Amazon’s partnership, the company’s sales have increased by 156%.

“Our goal has always been to increase consumer awareness of our brand and products nationally, and Amazon provides us with the ability to accomplish this goal. Being able to use the Fulfillment by Amazon system as our backend logistics system has allowed us to distribute product and offer Prime delivery to customers. With the task of fulfillment taken off our plates, we can concentrate on marketing, innovation, and driving topline sales,” said Richardson. “Being a part of Amazon’s Black Business Accelerator has also opened so many wonderful doors and exposed our business to opportunities that a small business such as ours could never afford.”

When asked for her advice for aspiring business owners, Richardson shared three key tips:

  1. Have a compelling story that brings your brand to life: Richardson differentiated her brand with a compelling story that honors her local roots and family. She suggests developing key visuals and brand logos that represent your personal story, identifying unique brand cues like textures, colors, and a tag line, and answering the question, “Why is this the right brand and/or product for me?” 
  2. Develop strong marketing and business plans: Richardson built a following for her company by initially focusing on local buyers and stores. Along with being in almost all grocery stores and markets in South Carolina’s Lowcountry, a region along state’s coast, Lillie’s of Charleston has customers around the nation who love the ease of ordering directly from the company’s website and through ecommerce platforms like Amazon.com. Richardson believes that business owners should extensively research their market and competitors, identify their demographic and target consumer, know what differentiates them in the market, and develop appropriate pricing strategies. From there, business owners can build the perfect go-to-market campaign for how, when, and why they should launch their products.
  3. Create and protect your brand elements with trademarks: Richardson emphasizes the importance of trademarks. Protecting them, she noted, will keep other companies from infringing on your ideas, reduce the potential for others to counterfeit your product line, and provide proof of legal ownership should any legal issues come up.  

Richardson and her family are continuing to grow their small business, with plans to introduce several new products to customers, including a popcorn line seasoned with their beloved spice mixes. 

“Every day is different and, as an entrepreneur, we get to be in the driver’s seat every step of the way. There’s no better reward than creating good food and happiness for families that buy our products,” said Richardson.

To shop Lillie’s of Charleston and discover more Black-owned businesses, visit Amazon’s Buy Black Storefront during Black History Month and Amazon’s Black-Owned Businesses Storefront all year long, and look out for the Black-Owned Business badge.

Amazon’s Black Business Accelerator (BBA) is dedicated to helping build sustainable equity and growth for Black-owned businesses, backed by a $150 million commitment over four years.

Lightsey III. “Gov. McMaster’s leadership and support in expanding this sector strengthens our ability to achieve continued EV success.”

The site also includes “Five reasons to make your EV in SC,” a short video showcasing original equipment manufacturers that are making or will make EVs in the state, access links to agency partners and the ability to contact the state’s EV Coordinator.

Chick-fil-A tests its first plant-based sandwich in 3 locations including Charleston, SC

Chick-fil-A is jumping on the plant-based bandwagon.

The Atlanta chain said Thursday that it’s testing its first plant-based entrée __ a breaded cauliflower sandwich __ at restaurants in Denver; Charleston, South Carolina; and the Greensboro, North Carolina, area. The test begins Feb. 13.

Chick-fil-A said its culinary team spent four years developing the sandwich after guests told the chain they wanted to add more vegetables to their diets. Chick-fil-A tested mushrooms, chickpeas and chopped vegetables formed into patties but kept returning to cauliflower for its mild flavor. 

Like Chick-fil-A’s signature chicken sandwich, the cauliflower steak is marinated, breaded, pressure-cooked and then served on a bun with two pickle slices.

Chick-fil-A is a relative latecomer to the plant-based fast food scene. Burger King started selling its Impossible Whopper __ featuring a plant-based burger made by Impossible Foods __ in 2019. Starbucks launched an Impossible sausage sandwich in 2020. McDonald’s debuted its McPlant burger __ developed with Beyond Meat __ in the United Kingdom in 2021. And KFC began selling Beyond Meat nuggets last year.
