Rise Saluda

08/18/2026

Hi, Saluda! I’m Maddie, and I am SO excited to introduce myself as the new owner of Rise Saluda! 💜

I’m from Aiken, SC, and I currently also own Elevate Aiken, which I opened in September 2024. What started as a dream has grown into a community that means so much to me, and I am beyond excited to bring that same energy, heart, and good vibes to Saluda with RISE! 🫶🏼

A little about me — I’m 24 years old and a 2024 graduate of Lander University, where I earned my degree in Marketing & Management. I’ve always had a huge passion for people, business, creating community, and building spaces where everyone feels welcome.

My biggest goal with RISE is to create a happy, safe, and welcoming space for the Saluda community to gather, enjoy the products you already love, make new connections, and most importantly… VIBE together and RISE together. ✨

There is SO much happening behind the scenes right now! Reno and trainings will be starting SUPER SOON, and an official opening date will be announced before you know it! 👀🤍

I’m praying over this opportunity, this business, and most importantly, this amazing community. I truly cannot wait to meet you, serve you, and become a small part of the Saluda community.

Here’s to a new chapter, new friendships, new energy, and a whole lot of RISING! 🥤✨

RISE Saluda — Energy + Nutrition
Refuel. Recharge. RISE. 🤍

The last few weeks have been filled with trials, tears, uncertainty, and now new beginnings.

Sometimes God opens doors, and sometimes He closes them sooner than we ever expected. In those moments, it’s easy to wonder why. But we’ve been reminded that His plans are always far bigger and better than anything we could ever imagine.

After much prayer and trusting God’s direction, we’ve made the decision to pass the torch of Inspire to someone incredibly special to us. We first met Madison Hall when she was behind the bar at Thrive Greenwood. Since then, she has become the owner of Elevate Aiken, and it has been amazing to watch her grow and serve the people there.

As we began praying about what this next chapter would look like, our hearts knew who we felt would be the best fit for Saluda and what an answered prayer it was for Maddie to be that person ! We couldn’t be more excited for her to continue serving the Saluda community as RISE SALUDA.

While this decision hasn’t been easy, we have complete peace knowing that Saluda is in wonderful hands. Maddie has a heart for people, a passion for wellness, and a love for community. We truly believe you will love her just as much as we do.

To every person who has supported Inspire over the last 2.5 years—thank you. Thank you for every visit, every conversation, every prayer, every encouraging word, and every friendship. You have been such a blessing to me and our family, and we will always cherish our memories with you all.

This isn’t goodbye to the community we love—it’s simply the beginning of a new chapter. We can’t wait to watch Rise Saluda flourish and continue making a positive impact in Saluda.

Stay tuned for Maddie’s opening date! She’s jumping right in with a fresh revamp of the space to make it fit her vision and flow. We can’t wait for everyone to see what she has planned!

Please continue to pray for both of our families as we each step into the plans God has prepared for us. Thank you for allowing us to be part of your lives, and thank you in advance for welcoming Maddie with the same love and support you’ve always shown us!

💜With love,💜
Jess & Dusty

Good morning Inspire friends!!

Thank you to all who have reached out this morning. Last night, my grandparents were in a head-on collision in Greenwood on South Main and both are currently hospitalized. My grandmother is in ICU at Self Regional with multiple broken and dislocated ribs. Dusty and I are in Greenville at Prisma Health with my grandpa who has been in surgery for over 4 hours now for internal bleeding. He also has multiple broken ribs and both hips are fractured.

Due to this, we will be closed today and will be determining this week’s hours once we know more on their conditions and how the family will be navigating them being in two different hospitals.

Please continue lifting our family up in prayer over the next few hours, days, and months. They both have a long recovery ahead of them. 💜
