As it enters its 70th year, Coligny continues to grow, evolve, and show us all how it has continued to be the most dynamic, exciting place to eat, shop, and dine on Hilton Head Island. A beloved cornerstone of the island’s cultural and commercial life since 1955, Coligny has always balanced a deep sense of tradition with a flair for bringing to us the latest and greatest.
That dual spirit is alive and well today, as this iconic plaza welcomes a fresh wave of energy with the introduction of four exciting new tenants. Each one brings something new to the table – sometimes literally – making this summer the perfect time to rediscover the magic of Coligny.
Pretzel bites at Slowcountry BBQ
Slowcountry BBQ has opened its doors, with a mouthwatering array of Southern favorites like fried chicken and sandwiches. The fundamental value of honest scratch cooking is in every bite.
“We’re excited to open and expand on the original concept that we had at Forrest Fire BBQ,” said Lee Lucier, co-founder of Slowcountry BBQ. “With this change we’ve expanded on the menu based on what the customers were asking for. More sandwiches, burger offerings, a true kids’ menu … it’s really a much more balanced menu. Plus, we’ve switched from a buffet style service to counter service. Everything’s cooked to order with a fresh, new menu.”
From the down-home simplicity of great Lowcountry cuisine, we then step into the dazzlingly colorful fashion of French designer Jean Pierre Klifa, whose famed palette of fearless colors and elegant lines have come to Coligny. Marking his 12th boutique across the country, the Coligny location serves as the perfect venue for Klifa’s upscale resort stylings.
“I’m excited to bring my collection to Hilton Head,” Klifa told C2. “It’s a destination with a vibrant energy, and I think my designs will fit right in.”
Nine Line Apparel
From fashion forward designs to apparel with attitude, we now turn our attention to another new face at Coligny, Nine Line Apparel. Famed for their unapologetic patriotism, this Savannah brand has made a massive impact across the country. Its eye-catching T-shirts, hats, drinkware, and stickers celebrate freedom with a fearless dedication to the stars and stripes – and an often cheeky sense of humor.
From the land of the free, we make our way to the North Pole where Santa’s workshop has been busy getting things ready for The Christmas Mouse to open its doors in Coligny. Celebrating the season year-round, this holly jolly boutique is a winter wonderland of ornaments, decorations, and collectibles. Its Coligny location, festooned in garland and hundreds of twinkling lights, will give you a chance to get a jump start on the festivities.
