SPARTANBURG, S.C. — Harbor Light Day Spa says weekend bookings have tripled since the retreat program launched last year.
Industry groups note that South Carolina's wellness and personal-care sector has added jobs steadily over the past several years, outpacing some other retail categories.
Staff say demand tends to peak during the spring and summer tourist season, though a growing base of local regulars has smoothed out seasonal swings.
The shift mirrors a national trend toward wellness-focused spending, with local shops adapting their offerings to match changing customer expectations.
What Comes Next
Officials say the coming months will be a key test of whether the momentum described above holds up. Community members in Spartanburg are encouraged to follow updates as more details become available.
