The Children's Place closing stores after filing Chapter 11 bankruptcy

The Children's Place , a national children's clothing retailer, is closing stores after filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. Several stores in Upstate South Carolina will be affected. The company filed a bankruptcy petition along with 13 affiliated debtors in a New Jersey bankruptcy court on Nov. 8, according to USA TODAY . A statement from the company maintains that the company intends to sell all assets, requiring the closure of certain stores. However, a banner on the company website says "All stores closing," and lists "everything must go" sales with 30% to 60% off prices. The Children's Place has about 500 retail stores across the United States, including 11 in South Carolina. Upstate Children's Place stores are located at the Haywood Mall in Greenville, Westgate Mall in Spartanburg and Gaffney Outlet Marketplace in Gaffney. It's not yet clear when the final day of business will be for the stores. Ruth Cronin covers Greenville County business, growth and development. Contact her at rcronin@usatodayco.com .

Walking tours will give Spartanburg residents up close look at zoning

City of Spartanburg residents will have the opportunity to learn more about ways the city might revamp its zoning regulations by taking part in "Sidewalk Conversations" guided walking tours on Nov. 14. A tour of the Union Street corridor and Converse Heights will take place from 8:30 to 11 a.m. A second tour will take place from 1 to 3:30 p.m. and cover and the North Church Street and South Converse areas. The tours will begin and end at the city administrative offices at 295 East Main St. Buses will take participants to the walking tour locations. The idea is to give residents perspectives on development patterns of the past and how they might apply to future city planning, said city communications manager Christopher George. George said the city's zoning ordinance hasn't been updated since the late 1990s. Other regulations have been in place since the 1970s, including larger residential lot sizes in keeping with the era's norms for suburban development. With input from residents, leaders will consider whether future zoning rules should allow additional areas of the city to have smaller residential lot sizes or mixed-use development projects.
