Ice cream shop in Fresno sold after 22 years. See the new concept and name
From the street, the store’s sign still says Jack’s Sweets and Treats. From the parking lot, customers can see a new sign — Morgan’s Sweets and Treats . The original owner, Jack Rocha, spent more than 20 years behind the counter, scooping ice cream onto a frozen slab, preparing mix-ins and baking cookies, but Morgan won’t be doing that for a simple reason.

Rocha opened the shop almost 22 years ago. “It was a good time and I found a great buyer,” Rocha said. Before the store was Jack’s Sweets and Treats, it was Marble Slab.

Store closings, bankruptcy. What to know about The Children's Place in Fresno area
The future is looking bleak for The Children’s Place stores in and around Fresno. Workers at the Fashion Fair mall store say it’s shutting down and giant “store closing” signs hang from the ceiling, though the company has not officially confirmed it is closing. The future of locations at Visalia Mall and Hanford Mall is unclear. Both locations are holding liquidation sales. The New Jersey-based company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy Sunday. The kids clothing retailer is attempting to survive the bankruptcy, looking for a new owner to buy it before the end of the year. Announcements of store closures are coming, according to an email from a company spokesperson.
