Mission: Valentine’s Day Guy Gifts

Mission: Valentine's Day Guy Gifts

Place: Broadway at the Beach

Date: February 14th

(Que the Mission Impossible Theme Song)

Do you choose to accept this mission?

Okay… maybe it doesn't take the stunts of the Tom Cruise blockbusters to shop for this year's Valentine gift for your favorite guy, but when it comes to the day of love, the guys in our lives aren't always the easiest to shop for! Broadway at the Beach wants to help change that and we've put together a list of ideas sure to help you find something perfect for your favorite guy this Valentine's Day!

Forget the flowers… get him food!

Whether it's a bouquet of Beef Jerky that you make from the Beef Jerky Store or a bucket of freshly popped popcorn of his favorite flavors from Sweet South Popcorn Company or even a box of chocolates from any one of Broadway's sweet stops (River Street Sweets, Wee R Sweetz or Kilwins), the way to his heart may be through his stomach!

Serve up some shady & sporty style!

There are a plethora of shops to explore and pick up something for that man of yours at Broadway. For the sports fanatics, it doesn't get much better than a store actually called Sports Fanatics where you can pick up his favorite team's gear. From collegiate to the pros from the courts, the diamond and fields, you are sure to find something that will have him cheering. Sports not his thing? Why not add some designer to his wardrobe with the help of Sunglass Hut where you can pick up the perfect pair of shades including Ray-Ban, Costa and Oakley!

Order Some Grub & Pour On The Love!

We have already mentioned the gifts from some of Broadway's light bite eateries, but when it comes to enjoying a Valentine's night out, a great meal and a cold brew will get you some extra Valentine's points! From burgers, international cuisine, seafood or southern, Broadway has it all. Pull up a seat at American Tap House, The Grumpy Monk or Liberty Brewery & Grill and treat him to a seasonal sip of his favorite brew. Get your grub on by firing up the hibachi at Yamato's Japanese Steakhouse or slow down and enjoy the sweet and savory southern cooking of Paula Deen's Family Kitchen!

So there's your Guy's Valentine's Gift Guide mission from Broadway, do you choose to accept it?

Happy Valentine's Day from Broadway at the Beach!

She Built A Business At Broadway With A Little Sparkle… One Woman’s Entrepreneurship Turns Her Big Dream Into Memories For Your Little Ones

Posted in Broadway at the Beach, Featured Posts, Shopping

She brought a touch of sparkle to South Carolina when she moved from the Midwest to the Grand Strand 10 years ago and now her shop at Broadway at the Beach is adding a little shimmer, a little fun and a whole lot of sparkles for little girls everywhere!

Check out our Q & A with Sparkles owner, Julie Yamtich:

1.) Tell us a little about yourself. Where are you from originally? How long have you been in Myrtle Beach?

"My name is Julie Yamtich. I am happily married and a proud mama to four wonderful kids. I am originally from the Chicagoland area but moved to Myrtle Beach in 2008."

2.) How did Sparkles come to be? When did you open at Broadway?

"I began creating Sparkles in 2008. I was the store manager for a children's store, but the store was going out of business. I absolutely love working with kids and didn't want to have to work for another large corporation. Both my father and grandfather were entrepreneurs, and I always knew I was up to the same challenge. So, I opened Sparkles at Broadway at the Beach in April of 2009, and I was finally able to share my passion for fashion, make-up, and dance with little girls every day."

3.) What is your most popular item in the store? What is your favorite item in the store?

"Currently, our most popular item is the mermaid swimsuit including the mermaid tail or monofin. Every girl who lives at or visits the beach wants to be a real mermaid. Our swimsuits allow them to swim like a real mermaid in the ocean or pool, and they bring big smiles to girls of all ages. Plus, Sparkles is the only local attraction to include a mermaid swimsuit with every deluxe mermaid makeover!

I don't have one specific favorite item in the store as we are an experience-driven retailer. Therefore, my favorite thing to do is to provide the makeover experiences. I love to see the excitement in a child's eyes when she gets her hair and make-up done and performs on our stage. It is our goal that every child leaves Sparkles having experienced their best day ever!"

4.) Tell us about the Sparkles Party Packages and how large of a party can you accommodate?

"Sparkles offers plenty of options when choosing to book a party with us. Our standard package starts at $175 and includes services for up to 7 girls. The standard package includes a hairstyle of their choice, make-up, sparkly nail painting, an accessory of their choice, and a make-up compact for each child to take home. They also get to dance on stage after their makeover, and most parties choose to have cake and present time at Sparkles as well. Additional guests and add-ons to the standard party package are available, and we can accommodate up to 25 guests per party."

5.) What is your favorite season for kid's fashions? (Winter, Spring, Summer or Fall)

"Fall fashions are definitely my favorite. We carry so many cute and unique options for the fall season including holiday wear and school picture attire from newborn to size 16. Most customers, including myself, are able to find an outfit, shoes, hair accessories, and jewelry that are just perfect for the special girl in their lives."

6.)Is there anything else you would like to pass along to the patrons of Broadway?

"Sparkles is truly a memorable experience. If you've never been here, you definitely should check us out. If you have visited us before, we invite you to come back and see all of the new inventory and makeover packages we have to offer!"

​A Little Sweet... A Little Salty… And A Whole Lot Of Southern Living

Do you have one of those places that just makes you think of home? Or a certain dish that makes you think about Grandma's cooking? Or a piece of décor that makes you relive memories of a southern summer? During our recent visit to the Southern Living Store at Broadway at the Beach, we experienced all of the above, taking home something sweet, something salty and of course, something southern!

Some Southern Sweetness

Muffins… pancakes… and pound cakes… oh my! The sweetness of the south can be tasted through the many mixes, sweet jellies and the sweet teas of the Charleston Tea Plantations, all of which we found here.

Some Southern Saltiness

No, we're not talking about that southern sass you may experience when someone becomes a little "hangry." Rather, the saltiness we are talking about comes in the form of peppered relish, dilly beans and spices! Whether you enjoy them as a stand-alone snack or add them to your own recipe, these tasty treats will add a little zip to your dips, dinners and everything in between.

Speaking of recipes, need to impress the neighbors, friends or the in-laws when they make those unannounced visits? You can always get in the kitchen and whip up something sweet or savory with the help of a cook book, and at the Southern Living Store you'll find a plethora of palatable options to aid you in filling the bellies of those you love!

Home Sweet Southern Home

From pillows, to flowers, to signs and more, you can add just a touch of southern chic or redecorate your home with the finds in this store! One of our favorites? The wall of signs!

You can also find dishware…

Napkins…

Mugs…

Furniture…

Candles…

Pillows...

And even fashion!

So the next time you need to find some sweet (and salty) southern charm, just visit the Southern Living Store at Broadway at the Beach!
