A concurrent RESOLUTION
TO PROCLAIM APRIL 27, 2023, AS "BOULINEAU'S IGA HERITAGE DAY" IN SOUTH CAROLINA.
Whereas, the Boulineau family has been an integral part of North Myrtle Beach for seventy-five years since Frank and Louise Boulineau opened a grocery store in the small community of Cherry Grove Beach, which at the time had fewer than one hundred houses; and
Whereas, Hurricane Hazel destroyed the store in 1954, along with most of Cherry Grove, but a few years later, they opened a second store in Cherry Grove; and
Whereas, in 1969, Frank Boulineau III and his wife, Elizabeth, converted a portion of a discount store with eight thousand four hundred square feet into a grocery store named Coastal Mart; and
Whereas, in 1982, the store was expanded to meet the ever-growing needs of the Cherry Grove community; and
Whereas, in 1986, a major expansion was undertaken to double the size of the store to fifty thousand square feet, and the Boulineau's name was placed on the main store; and
Whereas, in 1998, an addition of thirty thousand square feet was added to the main store, and in 2014, the second floor was expanded to add a jewelry department; and
Whereas, the community contributions of Frank and Elizabeth Boulineau extend far beyond the grocery store. The Boulineaus have maintained an active membership at the First Baptist Church of North Myrtle Beach, and Frank Boulineau was a founding member of the North Myrtle Beach Chamber of Commerce, has served as board chair and on numerous committees, and remains active today; and
Whereas, the Boulineau's IGA is one of the largest Independent Grocery Stores, and the Boulineaus welcome potential IGA owners and investors each year to their store. The grocery store, a fixture in the community, welcomes visitors and residents alike time and time again; and
Whereas, today Boulineau's features eighty-five thousand square feet, employs two hundred seventy-five workers, and continues to serve the community; and
Whereas, the South Carolina General Assembly is deeply grateful for the significant impact that Frank and Elizabeth Boulineau have had on their community, and the members express their appreciation to this dedicated family and their family-owned business for their commitment to the citizens of North Myrtle Beach and the surrounding community. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:
That the members of the South Carolina General Assembly, by this resolution, proclaim April 27, 2023, as "Boulineau's IGA Heritage Day" in South Carolina.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Frank and Elizabeth Boulineau.
