Your Voice Can Shape the Future of the Sumter Opera House

The Sumter Opera House is preparing for its grand reopening after closing for renovations in June 2025. While construction is nearing completion, we want to hear from the people who will enjoy the venue in the future, including those who may not be familiar with the Opera House today.

We are launching a short community survey and invite all Sumter residents to participate. The survey takes about five minutes to complete. Your feedback on entertainment, advertising, and how the Sumter Opera House communicates with the community will help shape its future and better serve our residents.

Take the Survey: https://forms.cloud.microsoft/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=tqSkpDj8lEKO7eHISoDdu8Re6bGKelxEjc8e2dlYm6ZUMVlPTlc0QlQ2VENSWlMxOU9EUklMU1dSQS4u

Open through July 10, 2026

Something wonderful is growing in downtown Sumter.

We are thrilled to share that Honey Hive — voted Sumter's Best Catering and Best New Business — will be bringing its award-winning spirit to the diner space at Cut Rate Pharmacy. This collaboration represents exactly the kind of growth and community investment that makes Sumter's downtown so special.

Cut Rate Pharmacy has stood as a cornerstone of this community since 1935, and that legacy remains unchanged. We will continue to be your trusted home for prescriptions and wellness — the same familiar faces, the same dedicated care.

And to those who have long cherished our famous chicken salad: that beloved recipe isn't going anywhere. You'll find it waiting for you at Confectionary & Company.

The Cut Rate Diner will serve its final guests on Friday, June 5th, with Honey Hive anticipated to open its doors in July. We believe this transition honors the past while opening a bright new chapter for our community.

None of this would mean anything without you. Your loyalty, your warmth, and your patronage over the years have made this place more than a business — they've made it a part of Sumter's story. We are deeply grateful, and we cannot wait to welcome you into what comes next.

With gratitude and excitement, Cut Rate Pharmacy & Honey Hive
