Baker owns a Mercedes-Benz dealership in Mount Pleasant on U.S. Highway 17 north of the Isle of Palms connector and a few miles south of Carolina Park. He owns several other showrooms in West Ashley, Summerville and Wilmington, N.C.
The newly acquired site by Baker is about a mile south of another planned auto dealership.
In early 2020, Galeana Chrysler Dodge Ram Jeep, an affiliate of Detroit-based Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, said it would build a new store on five acres on U.S. Highway 17 near Tupelo Forest Drive. A Galeana representative did not immediately respond June 14 for comment on the latest developments with the dealership.
Baker also bought a site in West Ashley earlier this year that led to the previous tenant’s recent relocation.
The Animal Helpers Re-Tail Resale Store moved to 1903 Savannah Highway from 1601 Savannah Highway, where it had been located for the past 10 years.
The move for the nonprofit that supports Pet Helpers came after Baker Motor bought the building at 1601 Savannah Highway, according to store director Lori Browne. Baker paid $1.9 million for the site, according to county records.
Baker is storing cars on the site and plans to demolish the building, he said. The car dealer also owns property on either side of the former resale shop site and plans to use part of it to expand his GMC truck offerings.
What’s cooking?
An Isle of Palms resident plans to open a new food-related venue in Mount Pleasant.

“Gloria Morgan is not only the heart and soul of The Trail Center, she is also a staple in the RV industry,” said Pete’s RV co-owner Chad Shepard. “It’s an honor to assume ownership of a business so fondly recognized in Charleston and its surrounding communities.”
Pete’s started in South Burlington, Vt., in 1952 and later added sites in Indiana, Connecticut, Massachusetts and Pennsylvania.
Fresh market
The Farmers Market at Freshfields Village between Kiawah and Seabrook islands runs 4-8 p.m. every Monday through August. Look for local produce and food and Lowcountry craft items.
The Harris Teeter-anchored shopping center is located at 165 Village Green Lane on Kiawah Island.
Rounding up
Food Lion supermarket chain is asking customers to round up their purchases to the nearest dollar with donations helping to feed the hungry.
Contributions will go to the Food Lion Feeds Charitable Foundation. The campaign runs through July 27 at more than 1,100 stores across the North Carolina-based company’s 10-state footprint.
Food Lion has 19 stores throughout the Charleston region.
