Bottles Beverage Superstore
Bottles Beverage superstore
was voted as the best liquor store by the
readers of Mount Pleasant Magazine,
which is no small feat. Liquor stores
dot the landscape no matter where you
travel, and yet the people of Mount
Pleasant flock to Bottles.
“When we began creating the concept of Bottles in 2010,
the owners agreed to never try and fool a customer. Instead,
we wanted to offer the best products and prices,” explained
George McLaughlin, owner and
managing member of Bottles. “We
find the most esoteric
products that you can’t
find anywhere else
and offer them at an
affordable price.”
From a large
selection of wine to
local craft beers and
many types of spirits,
Bottles utilizes its
15,000-square-foot
location to cater to all
customers.
The employees are
educated in all of the
products that line the
shelves so that each
customer can have a
personal experience.
“If you are a first-time customer, always start at the
front of the store, meet one of our awesome associates and
they will walk you through the entire store. Let us know
what you like because we love helping you to find it,”
said McLaughlin. “Bottles is a fun, unique place and not
intimidating for our customers.”
Bottles gives customers the freedom to make their own
choice, and the people of Mount Pleasant appreciate it.
So whether you are seeking professional advice on
quantities and selections for a party or just looking for a
gift, Bottles’ expert staff, on-site ownership and one-stop
shopping convenience makes it the one place to fulfill all
your beverage needs.
“All of the owners are from the hospitality industry, not
the retail industry, and that sets us apart,” said McLaughlin.
Further, Bottles provides service to more than 80
restaurants in the Lowcountry, six days a week. And, as one
of the largest liquor buyers in town, Bottles is able to pass
along its savings.
If you are interested in purchasing wine, beer or spirits at
a single location, McLaughlin recommends staying on the
east side of the Cooper River.
“Prior to opening Bottles, we were tired of crossing the
river and getting
the bait and switch.
We wanted to make
sure our customers
received what they
wanted,” he said.
Bottles in
Mount Pleasant
has been so
successful that, in
2015, a second
location opened
in Columbia,
South Carolina.
For the owners,
their mission is
the same: to treat
every customer with
respect and to share their knowledge.
“We very much appreciate the people of Mount
Pleasant for believing in us and supporting our business.
We still learn from our customers every day, so it is a
great two-way street,” said McLaughlin. “We are thankful
for all the support we have received, and the future for
Bottles looks great.”
Events at Bottles include weekly wine and spirit tastings
as well as Tap Takeover, all with complimentary tastings.
Bottles is located at 610 Coleman Blvd. in Mount Pleasant. To
