The university is opening Teal Nation shops in Myrtle Beach and Conway, South Carolina.

Answering the call to offer its products in more locations, Coastal Carolina University (CCU) is opening two Teal Nation retail stores in South Carolina this year. CCU opened its first Teal Nation retail location March 1 at 1169 Celebrity Circle, Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. CCU’s board of trustees also has approved a lease agreement for a second shop location at 324 N. Main St., Conway, South Carolina, which CCU expects to open Oct. 1.

Teal Nation features a range of high-quality, officially licensed CCU merchandise, including clothing, accessories, home decor and gifts. Teal Nation also features an online store.

Teal Nation opened its first location March 1 in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.

CCU says the Teal Nation shop in Myrtle Beach offers visitors a place to learn about enrolling at the university, purchase tickets for cultural arts and athletic events, and arrange tee times at CCU’s General James Hackler Golf Course, located adjacent to CCU’s campus in Conway.

“Teal Nation is an excellent opportunity to expand our footprint and introduce our brand to the millions of people who visit Broadway at the Beach each year,” says CCU President Michael T. Benson. “This location will also provide our students and alumni another great option to shop for a variety of teal and bronze gear. One of the key benefits of this initiative is that our students will have the opportunity to gain valuable hands-on learning experience while they help to operate the store and answer questions about all things CCU.”

The shops also offer a 30% discount to CCU students, faculty and staff as well as Alumni Association and Chanticleer Athletic Foundation members with valid CINO or membership cards.
