Edinboro woman pitched business to panel of prospective investors
It started as a fundraiser, built on nostalgia for the crunchy snacks her mother used to make. Lauren Hammer and her husband, Robert Hammer, who were both teachers at the Erie Charter School of Excellence, volunteered to sell their snack mix to help fund a senior trip. The fundraiser was a success, raising enough money to help pay for both the senior trip and the prom. Hammer, who is 40, said she and her husband, whom she married in 2023, quickly decided they had bigger plans for her late mother's snack mix, made by seasoning and baking a mixture of pretzels, nuts and breakfast cereal in almost endless variations of flavor. Working mostly from the kitchen of their Edinboro home, they launched a business that would become GramE's Kitchen. They sell bags of their snacks at craft shows, festivals and through retail outlets. Hammer said she's sold them one bag at a time at about 150 events over the past two years. Unique seasoning blends, some created with the help of students, were the key to the venture. They sold her mom's traditional snack mix, but GramE's also offered sweet churro, dill pickle, sweet apple pie, garlic parmesan, lemon lime,

Children's Place files for bankruptcy. What we know about Erie store
The Children's Place , a presence at the Millcreek Mall since 1998, appears to be making plans to turn off the lights. Signs outside the retailer, located in the Boscov's concourse next to Gracylane, announce 30% to 60% off and a headline on the company website says: "All stores closing." But the 57-year-old New Jersey company, which filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on Nov. 8, seems to be leaving itself some wiggle room. Chapter 11 bankruptcy provides the company with an opportunity to reorganize. The retailer, which operates more than 500 stores, hopes to do just that. The company said it hopes to substantially sell all of its assets "to secure the highest or otherwise best bid, with the goal of continuing the business." There's no guarantee that will happen.

The bottom line is simply unclear. According to its statement: "The Children’s Place has been evaluating its operational footprint to invest its resources in its strongest locations moving forward. The Company has determined that certain
