New businesses in Mount Pleasant usually announce themselves with a ribbon cutting run by the Mount Pleasant Chamber of Commerce, which invites the town and Town Council. Here is who has cut a ribbon since August, what is scheduled next, and the larger projects the town has announced. A business on this list is here because it opened or announced, not because we recommend it.
