🙌 After Church… But Then What?

🙌 After Church… But Then What?

The Real Reason We're Building a Family-Friendly Hangout in Taylors, SC

Sunday mornings have a rhythm.
We wake up, pile into the car (sometimes with a missing shoe or a spilled juice box in tow), and head to church. By noon, my heart is full, my spirit is stirred, and I’m holding the hands of four slightly wild, very hungry kids.

And then…
That inevitable question hits: Now what?

Like many families, we want to keep the momentum of the morning going — to keep the conversation alive.
To talk about what moved us during the sermon.
To connect with friends we didn’t have time to chat with during the brief hallway hellos.
To let the kids just be kids without constantly worrying they’re disturbing someone’s quiet time or knocking over salt shakers.

Where Do Families Go After Church?

One Sunday, we tried Chipotle. It checked some boxes: food, tables, familiar.
But within 10 minutes:
🍽️ We were gulping down lukewarm burritos.
đź‘¶ The kids were bored, bouncing between the chairs.
🪑 And we were repeating that familiar line: “Sit down. Please. Seriously. Sit down.”

That’s when it really clicked for us:
We don’t just need another restaurant.
We don’t just need a park.
We need a third space — a place that feels like an extension of home. Where both kids and grown-ups can just breathe.


🎯 That’s the Heart Behind Taylor Station

Taylor Station is more than a business idea. It’s a response to a need we kept seeing — and living.

We’re building a place where:
🎉 Kids can play freely and safely, not confined to their seats or shushed every few minutes.
đź’¬ Adults can reconnect, share stories, decompress, and talk like grown-ups (imagine that).
🍕 Food is part of the experience, not just fuel — tasty, casual, and crowd-friendly.
⛳ Fun is available, whether that’s mini golf, playgrounds, or just the joy of being in a welcoming space.

Whether it’s after church, after a long workday, or on a lazy Saturday afternoon, Taylor Station is being designed for real families, living real lives — with all the noise, joy, messiness, and beauty that comes with it.


👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 For Families. By Families.

This isn’t a slick corporate chain rolling into town.
This is our town.
We live here. We worship here. Our kids go to school here.
We’ve been in your shoes, wondering:

“Where can we go that works for all of us?”

So we decided to create that place.

Taylor Station is community-built and family-powered.
It’s a space where the after — after church, after work, after dinner — becomes something to look forward to.
