Kudzu Bakery coming soon A branch of Kudzu Bakery and Market is expected to open at the end of January on Forest Drive in Forest Acres. Kim McMurry and Kristi Gibbs, who own four locations of Pelican's Snoballs, are bringing the Charleston-area bakery to the Columbia market. The schedule depends on completing required state health inspections and the delivery of equipment, such as a bakery display case, McMurray said.
