If you’ve ever been to the area of our state around the intersection of I-95 and I-26, you know that there’s not much there.  My car once broke down at that very intersection and it was hours before I could find anyone to come to my rescue.  But our next guest is trying to change all that by bringing a massive event venue to life in that neck of the woods later this summer.

Mike Switzer interviews Stacie Darr White, president and general manager of Yonderfield in Bowman, SC.

After almost 20 years, Mike Switzer retired from Wells Fargo Securities in 2001 as Senior Vice President/Investment Officer and Certified Portfolio Manager. In 1999, he and his wife, Maggie, purchased and operated for eight years the Baskin Robbins ice cream store on Forest Drive in Columbia. They grew the store from a bottom-tier operation in the Baskin Robbins franchise system to one in the top 5% nationwide within three years, tripling sales along the way. While operating the ice cream store, Mike and Maggie received patents for a portable ice cream sink and fold-down sneezeguard they invented and in 2002 started Magnolia Carts, an ice cream cart manufacturing company, which they sold in 2013.
