MONTEREY PARK, CA - SEPTEMBER 23: A Costco store is seen on September 23, 2022 in Monterey Park, California. Costco Wholesale Corp. topped estimates for quarterly results this week with total revenue rising 15% to $72.10 billion in a strong fourth quarter. (Photo by Eric Thayer/Getty Images)
Earlier this year I wrote about the possibility of a new Costco coming to Indian Land, South Carolina. But, after all this time what’s happening with the project? Well, I decided to check in on the latest. And, here’s what I found. Yahoo News referencing The Herald says the county planning commission was scheduled to hear the case this week. And, after that, the proposal has to move through the process of going to Lancaster County Council, public hearing and approval.
So, what once was speculation looks as though it’s getting closer to being realized. The proposed Costco coming to Indian Land would be part of a growing area known as “The Exchange.” And, if you travel that stretch of Johnston Rd. or Charlotte Highway as we do, you know it sits very close to the Ballantyne area. Specifically, it’s south of Possum Hollow Rd.
Of course, there are plenty of Costco stores in the Charlotte area. However, South Carolina locations include Spartanburg, Columbia and Greenville. So, in many ways I welcome the convenience of a Costco in the Indian Land area. As mentioned, I live very close to the proposed site. But, in previous reports some folks in the area worried about extra traffic caused by a big box retailer in a space that already seems very congested.
Regardless, the possibility of Costco coming to Indian Land, South Carolina is moving through the channels on its way to approval. For more on the story and where the process stands, see the full report. And, we’ll keep watching to see what happens next.
These 5 South Carolina Companies Are Among The Nations Most Trustworthy
It’s wonderful to have thriving, successful companies in your state. These companies provide jobs and a boost to the local economies of the cities they call home. But it’s also important to have reputable and trustworthy companies. That’s why the folks at Newsweek, in collaboration with market research company Statista, created their second annual list of the Most Trustworthy Companies In America. The 2023 list includes 700 U.S. Companies across 23 different industries. This is based on evaluations by U.S. customers, employees, and investors all of whom are necessary for businesses to gain the trust of. And of those 700 companies, there are 5 South Carolina companies named as the most trustworthy.
Each of these is located in a different city including North Charleston, Greenville, Spartanburg, Hartsville, and Rock Hill. The 700 companies on this list came from a pool of 3,100. These were all U.S.-based companies that have revenues of over $500 million. Below you will find the 5 South Carolina companies that were named among the nation’s most trustworthy. You can view the full study, list, and analysis via Newsweek.
Does it matter to you if a company is trustworthy? For me personally, it is more important as a potential employee than as a consumer. In the latter scenario, I’m more apt to buy what fills my need at the right price. Though I know many many individuals to whom it makes a big difference.

Methodology According to Newsweek
Newsweek, in collaboration with market research partner Statista, recognizes the Most Trustworthy Companies in America in 23 industries according to U.S. residents’ evaluations.
The Most Trustworthy Companies have been chosen based on a holistic approach to evaluating trust. The three main public touchpoints of trust have been considered: customer trust, investor trust, and employee trust.
The analysis followed a 3-step process:
1) Market definition: All companies headquartered in the US with a revenue over $500 million were considered in the study. Complementary to last year’s methodology, private companies were also eligible.
2) Extensive survey: The basis of the analysis was an independent survey from a sample of about 25,000 U.S. residents, who rated companies they know in terms of all three touchpoints of trust. A total of 95,000 evaluations of companies were submitted. The field period ran from CW 45 to CW 48 2022.
3) Social Listening: For each company that received a sufficient number of evaluations, a Social Listening analysis was conducted. This involved researching what was said about a company in various media segments of the internet and evaluating whether it was positive, neutral or negative. In total, over 270,000 mentions were gathered. Additionally, all companies that were involved in any recent scandals or lawsuits relevant to a dimension of trust were excluded from the analysis.
