Construction to begin in December for Hattie B's in Germantown

Nashville hot chicken chain Hattie B’s Hot Chicken has taken yet another step forward to open a new location in Germantown. The upcoming location was announced in summer of 2025. According to a Hattie B's spokesperson, the target timeline for the restaurant to open is summer 2027 with construction on track to begin on mid-December. A new construction permit was filed on Nov. 2 with the Memphis and Shelby County Division of Planning and Development, for a 2,975-square-foot restaurant at 7662 Poplar Ave. in the Germantown Village shopping center. The estimated cost of construction of the hot chicken specialty restaurant is $1.5 million, according to the permit and will have a 1,100-square-foot patio area. Hattie B’s Hot Chicken — which was founded in August 2012 by father and son Nick Bishop Sr. and Nick Bishop Jr. — is known for its signature Nashville hot chicken and varying degrees of heat.

Memphis parents complained of a school laptop shortage. Now MSCS wants to buy 25,000 more.

Memphis-Shelby County Schools leaders on Tuesday proposed a mid-year purchase of 25,000 laptops for high schoolers after parents complained that a sudden change in district technology policy this year left teachers and families scrambling. Before the first day of classes in August, MSCS quietly ended a COVID-era policy that assigned each student an individual laptop or tablet to use for online class work and testing. Amid nationwide efforts to dial back classroom technology and a new state law requiring clear technology policies for elementary school, district leaders said at the time that the decision was partially about being “more intentional” with digital resources. Chalkbeat Tennessee reported in early September that the last-minute laptop policy change hindered testing and lesson plans at White Station High School . The change took some teachers and parents by surprise and also raised concerns about students who could not bring their own devices from home. Many of the district’s laptops purchased during the pandemic are also aging out or
