OPIE Grocery Stations
Opie Drive-Thru Grocery is a South Carolina-based retail startup that reimagines the grocery shopping experience through a 24/7, pickup-only "dark store" model. Co-developed by former fast-food management, the company combines the speed of a drive-thru with the quality of a premium supermarket, allowing customers to order via an app or on-the-spot for fulfillment in as little as 90 seconds. With a curated selection of over 5,000 items—including organic produce, fresh meats, local cafe treats, and beer and wine—Opie eliminates traditional shopping friction by removing order minimums, pickup fees, and the need for scheduled time slots. Driven by their "Swell Experience" promise, the company prioritizes sustainability and local partnerships to provide a friendly, fast, and high-quality grocery solution for time-starved consumers.
