-The Children's Place coming to Mount Berry Square: Bids are being sought for the refit of a shop in Mount Berry Square that will become home to The Children's Place, a retailer specializing in children's clothing. A Children's Place outlet already is in business at Prime Outlets in Calhoun. Reports of the arrival surfaced on Thursday, the same day the chain's parent company reported third quarter earnings of $37.8 million vs. $24.1 million a year earlier (57 percent increase; click financials)
-TJMaxx coming to Cartersville?: The former Goody's location at Main Street Shopping Center is giving way to a new TJMaxx store. We have calls into the company's media relations office for details on the opening date and employment. It is a large store, some 30,000-plus square feet in all. The center is from R.H. Ledbetter Properties; Ledbetter and TJMaxx have a relationship courtesy of the Riverbend Center location in Rome. If all goes as planned, the TJMaxx inclusion will "fill" the three Goody's stores left open when the Knoxville chain collapsed earlier this year. The Calhoun site has reopened under the Goody's name (new company, however) while Shorter College is considering a bid to moves its business school into the Midtown Crossing location in Rome.
