Opened in the 1930's as Marlows Supermarket, the Marlow family owned and operated this historic supermarket for over 50 years. The supermarket was a local’s favorite meeting spot for making phone calls (it was the only phone in Pawley’s), buying groceries and catching up on gossip.

In the late 1970’s, Salters McClary, a high school student, worked summers for Frank Marlow. Bagging groceries, stocking shelves and pumping gas, Salters became good friends with Mr. Marlow. After graduating from college and returning to Pawley’s, Salters kept his friendship up with Mr. Marlow. At 65, Frank Marlow decided to retire and Salters approached him about leasing the building and opening a restaurant.

In 1988, Salters and Elizabeth McClary opened a restaurant and named it Frank's after Mr. Frank Marlow. In 1992, the McClarys took over the house behind the restaurant where Mr. Marlow’s mother once lived, and turned it into Franks Outback.

In 2020, Elizabeth and the McClary three Daughters, Leldon, Marguerite and Emory, started Pawleys Island Gourmet Snacks (PIGS), a women-owned small business, to package Frank’s favorite artesian and locally made items. The first of soon to be of many is Frank’s Pimento Cheese.

For over 34 years later, the McClary’s still love the restaurant and gourmet food business and are constantly working to keep Franks one of the best restaurants in the Carolinas.
