Shem Creek · Mt. Pleasant, S.C.

We’re a market and a kitchen and a dock, right on the water where the shrimp boats tie up. We’re looking for good people who like the creek, like the work, and don’t mind getting a little salt on their boots. No long résumé required — just tell us who you are.

The Story

A Day on the Creek

Shem Creek is Mount Pleasant’s working waterfront — a tidal creek lined with shrimp trawlers and marsh, dolphins rolling through at the turn of the tide, the Charleston skyline off in the distance. The Outpost sits right in the middle of it: a complete experience, from essential bait and tackle to apparel and food. A shift here might mean plating lunch, pouring a cold one, ringing up a box of shrimp, or catching a line on the dock. It’s honest Lowcountry work in a beautiful spot — and we’d rather build it with people who actually want to be here.

What we’re after

Good People, Mostly

We can teach the rest. What we can’t teach is showing up, looking after the people next to you, and treating a stranger from out of town like a regular. If you take pride in a clean line and a warm welcome — whether that’s a plate, a pour, a sale, or a hand on the dock — you’ll fit right in. Experience is welcome and not required; a good attitude is required and not optional.

The setting

On the water

A working waterfront, not a cubicle — boats, marsh, and tide.
