| HIST | Compass Restaurant burns Landmark Turbeville seafood destination destroyed A burned wooden statue stands among the charred remains of Compass Restaurant near Turbeville after it was destroyed late Tuesday. KEITH GEDAMKE / THE SUMTER ITEM Posted Thursday, July 28, 2016 6:00 am BY JIM HILLEY JIM@THEITEM.COM Investigators are trying to determine the cause of a fire which destroyed the Compass Restaurant, 7885 Myrtle Beach Highway in Gable, on Tuesday night. Sumter Fire Department spokesman Joey Duggan said the initial call came in at about 10:45 p.m., and when the first engine arrived at the scene, the building was already involved with "heavy smoke and fire." Duggan said firefighters remained at the scene until 4:30 a.m. Wednesday. He said Clarendon County Fire Department firefighters were among the 40 firefighters involved in fighting the blaze. Damage to the seafood restaurant, just east of Interstate 95, was estimated at $300,000 to the building and $150,000 to the contents, Duggan said. Duggan said apparently no one was in the building when the fire started. The restaurant was reportedly open Thursday through Sunday only. "It's so sad to know that people who have been eating at this restaurant for many years will no longer do so," wrote Catina Gainey, whose mother is co-owner of Compass Restaurant, in a Facebook post on Wednesday morning. Gainey also wrote that she is deeply saddened that the Compass' employees, some of whom she said had been with the restaurant since the beginning, will now be without jobs. "Thank God no one was physically hurt," she wrote. According to Gainey's social media post, the restaurant was constructed in 1975. Her family took ownership of the Compass about five years ago. On Wednesday afternoon, Cliff Cantey, co-owner of Compass, said the restaurant was about two weeks away from reaching its 5th anniversary of being owned by them on Aug. 8 when the fire happened on Tuesday. It's like losing a child, he said, describing his and his wife's reaction to the fire. Cantey said Compass was a family friendly restaurant. "We try to treat everybody like family," he said. He said it meant a lot to be a part of the community and open the restaurant's doors to local families and groups that needed a meeting space. Cantey said he and his family plan to move forward despite losing the restaurant. He said he does not know how they could do much better than Compass Restaurant, but they plan to make a comeback.
