“With the revitalization of the downtown area, Spartanburg offers a great opportunity for business growth,” says Bryan Henke, owner of Main Street Trolley, a company that provides seasonal trolley tours. “Downtown has attracted more visitors to our restaurants, hotels and businesses.” Boutiques and restaurants are indeed increasing their numbers at a rapid pace. Downtown Spartanburg has become a daylong destination for those who enjoy shopping, dining and relaxing at night while sampling live music. The downtown scene also includes health clubs, a farmer’s market, day spas, a full-service hotel, a bed & breakfast, and a variety of shops. With the redevelopment of the city’s center—Morgan Square and the Center for Arts, Science and History planned for the near future, downtown Spartanburg’s continued growth as a gathering place is assured.
