Located on Lockwood Boulevard, the Marina Amoco occupies a prime piece of real estate. To rival the timeless beauty of the marina views, the Marina Amoco was conceived as more than just another convenient store. Special care was taken with all aspects of the store's appearance, from the aged wood siding to the cafe-style seating. In addition to providing downtown motorists with Amoco petroleum products, the store stocks an upscale mix of food and convenience items. From Pepperidge Farm cookies to Starbuck's coffees to a selection of fine wines, the Marina Amoco aspires to be the convenient store for the more discerning client. To complete their atmosphere, the Marina Amoco chose Carolina Sound and Muzak to provide music inside the store and outside at the pumps. 

The Marina Amoco offers the convenience of pay-at-the-pump credit card readers, but Muzak helps to draw customers into the store to experience what they might not see otherwise, including tasteful Charleston souvenirs and ready-made food for travelers in a hurry. The inside of the store was an installation challenge because of the open ceilings. Carolina Sound responded by concealing wiring within the HVAC ductwork and mounting speakers where they were out of the way, but still provided clear music to the store. Satisfying Charleston's Board of Architectural Review can be difficult when it comes to displaying satellite dishes on downtown buildings, but Carolina Sound has done hundreds of such installations and appreciates the importance of maintaining the historic downtown atmosphere. Carolina Sound also provided a cashier-to-pump intercom system. The Marina Amoco was concerned with the safety of their employees, so Carolina Sound installed several closed-circuit TV surveillance cameras and videotape recorders to keep a watchful eye on traffic through the store.
