Company Profile:

We felt the need for a Social Club in our area. There is simply no local “gathering” place in the area. Those whom we have met express longing for a local place that “they just know one of there friends will be there”. The idea of having a neighborhood pub that is “the place were friends meet”, sponsors activities and offers other entertainment options for members was too hard to pass up. So we began asking people in the area questions. . . .

Our research shows:

One of the biggest complaints that we have received from our study group was the lack of opportunity to be entertained after midnight on Saturday or at all on Sunday’s. This dissatisfaction magnifies during the Football season, but is experienced throughout the year.

There has also been strong support for an establishment that would be a “Sport’s Bar”, offer good food at a fair price and have various patron participation opportunities. We decided to comply with all these request AND add the National Trivia Network [NTN] game, Golden Tee Golf and tabletop video.

Reason we are a Private Club:

The only way to provide our patrons with beverages on Sunday is to open as a private club. Potential for legislation has been discussed and may well be introduced and approved in the future, but for now, this is the only way for Stir Crazy to answer the needs of our patrons.

Obligations of Stir Crazy to achieve Private Club Status:

The City Club of Tega Cay, LLC was created as a bona fide non-profit corporation under South Carolina Law. It is doing business as “Stir Crazy” to align the business name more closely with the fun Social agenda for which the business was formed. There are many regulations that govern such an effort and the strict punitive nature of the State for breach of these regulations is a significant deterrent to skirting the law. [Not to mention, fines, jail time or revocation of our license is not an option we will explore!]

So, we have to put in place many processes and procedures to maintain compliance with these regulations. Many of these have to do with record keeping, membership election, bylaws, etc. To effectively operate a club that will meet the objective listed above, a significant infrastructure needed to be designed developed and implemented.

We realize that there are not many Private Clubs in the area. [it is probably because of the requirements!] But to provide the access that most of our area wants we have decided to take the extra step to bring our members what they deserve! You want a place that you feel at home, have fun, eat well, meet friends, play games and watch games, 7 days a week!

Stir Crazy will work to give you all of that and more! Now you don’t have to drive to North Carolina to watch a football game, the final round of a golf tournament, Nascar or any other key sporting event. You get to watch them in the comfort of your own Private club. Welcome to Stir Crazy
