Mount Pleasant, SC and Waitsfield, VT, May 04, 2023 -- Discovery Map International, the leading provider of curated guides to top tourist attractions, cities and towns throughout North America, recently announced Katie Finch as the new owner of Discovery Map of Mount Pleasant. She purchased the map from Abby Simon, publisher of Charleston Inside Out.

Since her family relocated to the area in 2020, Finch has consulted and written for several area publications, including Mount Pleasant Magazine and Charleston Women. A serial entrepreneur, she previously owned three Paint & Sip studios in Florida with her mother and sister.

“Every time we traveled, we always seemed to pick up a Discovery Map. So, when I told my husband about the opportunity to purchase a local map, Discovery Map of Mount Pleasant, it seemed like a no-brainer,” said Finch, who with her husband Ralls are parents to two children, ages 6 and 4.

Added Finch, “Our move to Mount Pleasant was about being closer to family. I’m from Birmingham, AL and my husband is from Charlotte, NC. Buying Discovery Map of Mount Pleasant was also about family as it enables me to work my schedule around my kids’ schedule with the added bonus of meeting even more people in the area. Also, the kids have already been helping me with distribution. Of course, it doesn’t hurt to have an ice cream shop as one of your clients.”

The interactive map found on the website is to scale, thus can be used for turn-by-turn directions, as well as to access detailed information about areas of interest, places to eat, lodging and other noteworthy sites.

“Mount Pleasant is a city of more than 80,000 people and it shows up on pretty much every top 10 list of places to live in South Carolina,” said Finch. “We’re looking to build on the strong following the map already has here and grow it, with an eye to adding more maps down the road.”
