Our Story

Amy and Loren have lived in Wheaton, Illinois for almost 30 years.  They also live part-time on Kiawah Island, in South Carolina.  In 2004, after 23 years in the retail consulting world, they retired from coporate life, and opened their first store, SeaCoast Sports and Outfitters.  They now have nine retail shops and restaurants in South Carolina and Illinois (five stores in Freshfields Village), are proudly locally owned and operated, and try to feature local and regional products whenever possible.  When not on the islands, Amy and Loren still spend time in Chicago, helping to run their businesses in Naperville, visiting their family, helping to run a large charter school network in the inner-city, and enjoying the vast and amazing Chicago restaurant scene.  They also enjoy and collect wine, and spend 2-3 weeks each year in wine regions all over the world.
