North Augusta – Carolina Hills Sandwich & Sweet Shoppe officially opened its doors to the public on May 12, 2025, at 433 Georgia Avenue. The new establishment, co-owned by Jenny and Jesse Elliott, aims to bring a unique dining experience to downtown North Augusta while evoking a nostalgic charm that connects to the community’s heritage.
Prior to the grand opening, a soft opening was held on May 6 for friends and family, allowing the Elliott family to fine-tune their menu and service. The shop’s menu features a variety of offerings including the Carolina Turkey Club sandwich, soups, salads, and an assortment of desserts. In a unique twist, the front room of the sandwich shop houses Sweet Racie’s Italian Ice, a business started by the Elliott’s 14-year-old daughter. This addition enhances the shop’s appeal, providing a cool treat for patrons on warm days.
The sandwich shop’s décor comprises a central hall adorned with old photographs, utensils, and local artwork, effectively creating an atmosphere designed for customers to enjoy leisurely visits. Jenny Elliott emphasized the importance of connecting the shop to “old North Augusta,” reflecting both the town’s history and community spirit. Future plans also include art showcases for professional and student artists, providing a platform for local talents.
In addition to the appealing ambiance, the shop operates Monday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., while Sweet Racie’s will remain open until 8 p.m. This ensures that customers can visit throughout the day, whether for a meal or a delicious Italian ice treat.
The Carolina Hills Sandwich & Sweet Shoppe is situated in a location that holds historical significance, formerly known as Tenpenny’s. The Elliott family, who also owns Shoppe 3130, expressed their desire to fill a void in the market by introducing a sandwich shop, a venture they have contemplated for the past four years since the anniversary of their boutique. Their community-focused ventures are complemented by Jenny Elliott’s deep roots in local organizations, such as garden clubs and fundraising activities.
To promote the new shop, Jesse Elliott utilized a retro minivan, the LNCHBOX, driving it around town as a charming advertisement initiative. This creative approach not only garnered attention but also contributed to the overall excitement surrounding the shop’s opening.
As Carolina Hills begins to establish itself in the community, it not only aims to serve delicious food but also to foster connections among residents. With a focus on nostalgia, family-friendly atmosphere, and community involvement, the Elliott family hopes that the sandwich shop will quickly become a beloved spot for locals and visitors alike.
In summary, Carolina Hills Sandwich & Sweet Shoppe endeavors to offer North Augusta a new, nostalgic dining experience through its diverse menu and commitment to local arts and community. As the shop settles into its new role, it looks to create lasting memories while meeting the community’s needs for enjoyable meals and connections.
