A FamilyCulture
Though the origin of Raines began in 1954 as the family entered the gas industry, the beginning of the hospitality sector started in the early 1980s as a passion of Mark Raines. The son of Rock Raines who owned and operated several truck stops throughout his time, Mark opened his first hotel in 1992, a Super 8 Motel on Highway 52 in Florence, SC.
