There’s a new coffee shop opening one week from today, Aug. 11. It’s called Sawdust Coffee, and it’s on Laurens Road at MUSOU Movement.

In fact, MUSOU’s founder and owner Sean Herman is behind the new concept, which promises to be “more than a coffee shop.”

“This is a space for positivity, passion, and inspiration,” the website states.

The Wrap

I’ve always mentioned I’m a proud Gamecock (class of 2017), and I know first-hand how loud Williams-Brice Stadium gets. However, my only Memorial Stadium experience was for the Savannah Bananas, and I overheard some students in attendance saying it was the loudest they’ve ever heard Death Valley.
