What to know about starting up in Mount Pleasant:
"The town of Mount Pleasant was very excited about an online business coming into the market and did everything they could to make us feel welcome. While it's a picturesque and serene community, it still has an energetic, forward-moving vibe. There are industrious nooks and crannies, including a significant shipping port facility. [Mount Pleasant is] reasonably priced, convenient, and in a beautiful natural setting. We see bobcat, deer, and great blue herons right outside our office windows."
