I believe by now you have guessed that the common element is Simpsonville. Β They have all of them; we have none of them in Mauldin. Β OH! Β I'm sorry, we do have an Arby's way out East Butler.

Now, my question is: Β What are we as a City doing to try and attract any of these and bring some new and needed revenues back to Mauldin? Β Your guess is as good as mine.
