Half-Moon Outfitters plans to move next year from Five Points to the former New Way Cleaners building—vacant since 2009—on Prince Avenue.
Flagpole news intern Stephanie Talmadge spoke to Chad Hall at Half-Moon, who said the move is unofficial but “pretty much confirmed” and won’t take place until “June-ish.”
New Way is considered a brownfield because of the chemicals used in dry-cleaning, so some environmental cleanup will be necessary.
Hall said the store is moving so they can have more space for outdoor equipment rentals (kayaks and paddle boards, for example).
Half-Moon has seven stores in Georgia and South Carolina and an eighth planned in Augusta.
