When you come across a gas station with a store called The Peach Stand and you see a building with character and signs reading, "Butcher Shop," "Ice Cream Parlor," and "Restaurant," you know you’re "not in Kansas anymore" and that this is not going to be your average gas station or convenience store. Rather, it’s probably the coolest gas station in South Carolina and just maybe ever. But wait until you see everything you’ll find here. It’s like discovering treasures at every turn.

The Peach Stand is conveniently located on Highway 160 and Highway 21 in Fort Mill not far off Interstate 77 between Columbia and Charlotte, a few miles from the North Carolina border. If you’re stopping for gas, go ahead and fill up and then find a parking spot. You’re probably going to be here for a while!

When you step inside the store, you will find lots of goodies.

And there is much more available than peaches and peach-flavored items, as you may wonder from the name of the store!

If you’re wanting to get a bite to eat, the website shows only a lunch menu for the restaurant, but there’s information on The Peach Stand Facebook page about serving breakfast in January of 2022 and at times before that date. Follow The Peach Stand Facebook page for updates.

Options on the menu include a wide selection of sandwiches, fresh salads, and juicy burgers… and there’s a kids’ menu, something for everyone!

Stop by the ice cream parlor for dessert or just an ice cream treat if you're not eating at the restaurant. There are 30+ varieties of Hershey's Ice Cream to choose from and you can get a traditional hand-dipped scoop, an old-fashioned milkshake, or a sundae.

If it happens to be on one of the rare days in South Carolina that it’s too cold for ice cream or you want a quick grab-and-go type of breakfast, there’s also a bakery here offering a wide selection of homemade desserts including pound cakes, cobblers, cookies, fudge, pies, bread, and more. Every morning, you can find freshly-made donuts with flavors that are rotated seasonally, scones, and muffins.

With so many options to choose from, it might be a difficult decision … you can't go wrong with one of the best sellers, The Peach Stand’s famous Banana Nut Bread!

And of course, you don’t want to miss the Butcher Shop, which is stocked with custom-cut steaks, all-natural chicken, pork, freshly ground beef, and premium homemade New York-style sausages. From weekly dinner needs to specialty items for holidays, this is easily a go-to spot for all things meat.

“Aged to perfection” grill-ready cuts? Yes, please!

And if you happen to be looking for a cut of meat you don’t find in the case, give the butchers a call and they will take care of it for you! How’s that for amazing service?
