The businesses at 2398 Clements Ferry Road encapsulate Cainhoy’s vibrant and dynamic commercial district.
Established in 2001, this single-story, mixed-use building spans 1.25 acres and serves as a hub for local small businesses.
Tenants occupying the space include:
Charleston Shirt Factory is a one-stop shop for screen-printed shirts and personalized printed signage and stickers. With decades of experience in screen printing and graphic design, account nanager Kyle Walker said the design team is dedicated to creating top-notch illustrations to meet the branding needs of local businesses.
“Showing people where their shirts and signs are made is always a great joy, as it’s all made in our small but mighty space right down the street from them,” Walker said. “Reflecting on the growth of our community, creating relationships with neighbors, and helping them build their brand is astounding as well as inspiring.”

With seven other locations in Charleston, the cleaning company provides in-home and light commercial cleaning services. MaidPro’s professional cleaners use a 49-point checklist to ensure thorough cleaning for any space, from general housekeeping to move-in/move-out services or Airbnb rentals.
“We love doing business in this community because it is typically recurring business,” Byrum said. “Most of the work we do in this area is with customers that we see on a regular basis. This allows the cleaner to better know the home and build trust with the client.”
Tails Gone Wild is a pet grooming service that offers personalized pet styling, bathing, and even temporary nail polish for the area’s posh pooches. With over 20 years of experience, owner Susan Jovino said the business is the only American Kennel Club-certified salon and groomer in the state.
“We will meticulously attend to your cherished pets every need,” Jovino said. “Whether receiving a full-grooming or just a bath and tidy, you can rest assured that the highest quality products will be combined with the most advanced grooming techniques to provide your pet with a service that truly is ‘a breed apart.’”
