The Station at Freshfields Village

The Station at Freshfields Village

By the year’s end, The Station at Freshfields Village will be open, and island residents and visitors will have a convenient new place to procure necessities including fuel, a convenience store, and a laser car wash.

The Station is being developed by Kiawah Development Partners (KDP). “We know that the residents and guests of Kiawah, Seabrook and lower Johns Island have wanted a convenient fuel and car wash alternative,” said Townsend Clarkson, chief operating officer of KDP. “The Station at Freshfields will offer competitive prices, service and easy access.”

The Station will be everything a convenience store ought to be, with a New York style deli, a cold and hot beverage station, beer cave, nutritious snacks, clean restrooms, bike racks, porches complete with rocking chairs that invite socializing, and clerks who learn your name and preferences.

Gas will be offered from eight pumps at competitive prices. The touchless laser car wash cleanses safely and is environmentally friendly – utilizing 40% less water than traditional car washes. A vacuum cleaner and air pump will also be available.

The Station will be located near the Kiawah Island entrance to Freshfields Village, just across from Bank of America, and just behind the new Kiawah Island bike path. The nostalgic architecture by MG Architects will blend in with Village style, with building and engineering expertise provided by Hill Construction and Thomas & Hutton, respectively.

The Station at Freshfields Village breaks ground this spring, and will be a perfect addition to the Village with its ample convenience, variety, and charm.

    I’m pretty pumped about having a gas station on the island.  Getting gas has always been inconvenient and other stations take advantage of this with their inflated prices.  With eight pumps, I hopefully will not have to wait in line.  Watching someone else pump gas is quite boring and it always makes me nervous when someone is sitting in their car watching me.
