Why Grayson, KY may never have a Walmart… (and why it’s okay)

One of the most common things I see people in this town asking for is a Walmart. It’s something I’ve never fully understood, for several reasons. For one, our nearest Walmart is only 15–20 minutes away. It’s literally about 10 miles from town, and if you can’t make the drive, you can even have groceries delivered to your house, including in places like Hitchins.

Lexington coffee shop in danger of closing will stay open under new owners

A Cup of Common Wealth, a popular downtown coffee house that has been up for sale since last summer, will remain open under new ownership. The shop announced on its Facebook page Friday that longtime customers Abby and Alex Clay are the new owners of both A Cup of Common Wealth and Magic Beans Coffee Roasters. “Abby has experience in the coffee industry, and Alex has longtime business management experience,” the post stated. The shop on Eastern Avenue has been in business since 2013. Its previous owner, Salvador Sanchez, said in June that he had taken a job in New York and would probably close A Cup of Common Wealth by the end of the year if he didn’t find a buyer. The business, which built a loyal following by offering a “pay it forward” wall where customers could buy a drink for someone else and set their own parameters for who would receive it, was named Lexington’s Small Business of the Year in 2016. Chocolate Holler, one of a few spin-offs A Cup of Common Wealth tried over the years, closed earlier this year after nine years in business . The new owners said in the social media post

Kentucky landmark sold: What's next for Frankfort's Capital Plaza Hotel

A Central Kentucky landmark is about to get a major makeover after 40 years. The Capital Plaza Hotel on Wilkinson Boulevard announced that it is now under new ownership with a multimillion-dollar renovation in the works. Franklin DevCo, which was organized in 2024 by Georget T. Underhill III, purchased the hotel in December 2024 for $7 million. The 163-room property will be renovated using $33 million in industrial revenue bonds issued through Franklin County and the Franklin County school system. The property also has been awarded a potential $7.5 million in historic tax credits as well as $1.4 million in state tourism tax incentives, according to a spokesperson. The hotel is planning a spring 2027 debut. The update will include a multilevel penthouse, a new grand ballroom and about 25,000 square feet of meeting and event space, according to a news release. The project also will include two new restaurants and a lobby bar. “We know people in Frankfort have a personal connection to this hotel, and we take that responsibility seriously,” said Colin Underhill, representing Franklin DevCo, in a statement. “Our focus is on getting the details right and making improvements that people will appreciate for years to come.
