The Charleston Harbor Resort & Marina is under contract, with a transfer of the waterfront property expected to close by the fall.

American Financial Group Inc., the longtime Cincinnati-based operator, announced on March 31 that a deal is in the works for the getaway at state-owned Patriots Point.

The price was not disclosed, but the seller said Monday that it expects to book an after-tax net gain of $100 million from the transaction.

The sale will include the long-term real estate leases to the Mount Pleasant resort's two hotels, the 459-slip marina, a full-service restaurant and other assets.

American Financial Group did not identify the buyer. A representative said the company had no further comment Monday.

The terms include a 60-day review period for the purchaser, which can still terminate the sales agreements. If the deal proceeds, the transaction will be finalized by Sept. 30, American Financial Group said.

The resort is next to Patriots Point Naval & Maritime Museum, one of South Carolina's busiest visitor destinations. It is operated under ground leases with the state. The rent payments are based on a combination of flat fees and a set percentage of revenue from various sales and services at the property.

The original hotel was opened in mid-1997.

The current operator is part of American Financial Group's real estate investment arm and formerly was called Brothers Property Corp. The company acquired the leasing rights from the original local development group for $17.5 million in May 2002 and added the 92-room Beach Club hotel in late 2016.

While the hot new restaurants tend to open in downtown Charleston, folks east of the Cooper need to eat too. Mount Pleasant serves up a lot of hidden gems that might not get the same publicity as the peninsula hot spots.

This group spans multiple cuisines, from Japanese to Italian to Southwestern, and collectively satisfies all of your restaurant needs.

New to the map this update: coastal Mediterranean restaurant Lola Rose. Locations are listed geographically from north to south.

Chef Eric Milley constantly rotates the offerings on the menu at the Shellmore, but there’s always an oyster and cheese selection available to pair with the amazing wine selection. The restaurant is small and the kitchen is even smaller, but it puts out big flavors like shrimp and scallop risotto with lobster cream or rigatoni bolognese.

Kanpai is truly a staple of Mount Pleasant dining. Chef Sean Park puts the utmost care into every plate and seems to score the freshest catches around. Always check out the specials, which can range from uni to chutoro.

Open since 2003, Langdon's serves some of the best fine dining in Mount Pleasant. The dining room is set for a special night out, but it isn’t stuffy. Start with local goat cheese gnocchi or seared foie gras and then move on to a lamb with orzo or duck breast with celery root puree.

Oysters are the star at Nico, but there’s so much more to explore. This bustling brasserie from chef Nico Romo serves a wide variety of raw bar items and classic French dishes like escargot and burgundy sea scallops. The wood-fired oven brings a bit of smokiness to the menu through a selection of roasted bivalves and whole roasted fish. The brunch is popular here as well.

Locals like to debate whether Shem Creek dive Wreck of the Richard & Charlene is too touristy or just the right amount of out-of-towners. Nestled on the water, the dining room is not much more than a screen porch and some plastic furniture. It’s no frills, so stop by after a trip to the beach for some boiled peanuts, a cold beer, and fried shrimp.

Post House is a handsome tavern anchoring the Old Village. The neighborhood restaurant focuses on coastal, seasonal cuisine, and classic cocktails. Diners can start their meals with blue crab toast or Abundant Seafood crudo and move on to a half chicken or smothered pork loin. In addition to dinner, the restaurant offers lunch and brunch.

MOUNT PLEASANT — A new restaurant with ample outdoor dining space is set to open soon, though maybe not soon enough for some who long to spend lazy days outside.

From recently formed hospitality group High Tide Provisions, Frank & Jack's is targeting a late summer opening at 1434 Ira Road.

The restaurant, set on a two-acre lot just off U.S. Highway 17, will feature an indoor dining area and bar, an outdoor lawn with a live music stage and walk-up bar window, as well as a standalone ice cream shack with sweet treats for the kids.

Local beers, wine and cocktails will be available to pair with a culinary offering of "reimagined nostalgic dishes with a modern twist."

Short rib poutine, pot pie, moules-frites and pizzas are among the items that could land on the opening menu, said culinary partner Jonathan Rohland, who recently worked for Hawkers Asian Street Food out of Orlando. He relocated to Charleston ahead of the debut.

High Tide project leader Stephanie Samuels said she envisions Frank & Jack's as a community gathering space that meets the needs of diners from all walks of life. Its large footprint will also allow the group to host private events, from intimate dinners to more grand gatherings.

"We thought this might be the perfect project for this lot of land," said Samuels, who partnered with Rohland and Alice Lewis to bring the restaurant to life.

The restaurateurs have hired local firms CB Elrod & Co. and Bello Garris Architects to complete construction, while Hunter Floyd Williams of Hunter Studio is leading design efforts.

When it debuts later this year, Frank & Jack’s will open daily for lunch, dinner and weekend brunch. For updates visit frankandjackschs.com or follow the restaurant on Instagram @frankandjackschs.

The Fresh Market's first grocery store in the Charleston area has set a date for its market debut.

The North Carolina-based chain this month posted signs about its future 25,000-square-foot Mount Pleasant location that announced it will open April 30 at 8 a.m.

This past weekend, the company has been signing up shoppers for its loyalty program outside the store, in addition to mailing flyers to nearby residents.

On April 21, The Fresh Market also released a statement saying a grand opening event will follow on May 3 at 7:45 a.m. and will include giveaways and food samples.

The specialty grocery store, known for its to-go meals and signature baked goods, is located at 1118 Bowman Road near U.S. Highway 17, between Dick’s Sporting Goods and shoe retailer DSW.

The Bowman Place store has been in the works for more than a year. The Fresh Market assumed a lease from discount grocer Lidl and has been working to complete build-out of the space that previously housed a kitchenware retailer that closed five years ago.

The store had been advertising for open positions online.

Throughout South Carolina, The Fresh Market has nine locations, including three along the coast in Hilton Head, Pawleys Island and Myrtle Beach. The Mount Pleasant store will be the grocer's 172nd location.

The Fresh Market was founded in 1982 and is headquartered in Greensboro, N.C. The company has been majority-owned by Chilean retail conglomerate Cencosud since mid-2022, with New York-based Apollo Global Management and other investors holding a 33 percent stake.
