Hot Spot is proud to announce that we’ve been named a Best of Spartanburg winner in three categories this year! Thanks to the support of our loyal customers and community, we earned recognition for:

• Best Craft Beer Store – for the 5th year in a row

• Best Employer – for the 2nd year in a row

• Best Eco-Friendly Business – our first win in this category

These awards mean more to us than just titles—they reflect the trust, loyalty, and love we receive from the communities we serve every day. From our store teams who go above and beyond, to our customers who continue to choose Hot Spot as their go-to stop, this achievement is truly a shared victory.

Winning Best Craft Beer Store five years running highlights our dedication to offering the largest and best selection of craft beers in the Carolinas. Taking home Best Employer for the second consecutive year shows our commitment to building a positive, supportive workplace for our team. And being honored as Best Eco-Friendly Business for the very first time shines a spotlight on our ongoing efforts to invest in sustainable practices and make a difference for the environment.

As we celebrate 75 years of being locally owned and operated, these awards remind us why we do what we do—serving our neighbors, supporting our communities, and always striving to make Hot Spot more than just a convenience store. Thank you to everyone who voted, visited, and continues to be part of our story. Here’s to many more years of fueling up and giving back in the Carolinas!
