A retail giant is moving to South Boulevard in Charlotte. Here's what's changing

A major off-price retail giant is moving to a new space on South Boulevard in Charlotte in time for the holiday shopping season. TJ Maxx will open its 25,570-square-foot store at 9:30 a.m. Nov. 19 at 5107 South Blvd. in Charlotte, the retailer recently said. TJ Maxx will anchor the renovated 77,000-square-foot Seneca Square shopping center , according to property manager Foundry Commercial. The store offers brand-name and designer fashion, accessories, beauty products, jewelry and home goods at discounted prices. TJ Maxx is relocating from a slightly larger, 31,954-square-foot spot less than a mile away at 4726 South Blvd. , the retailer said. “We are always assessing and reviewing our real estate strategies, and our decision to relocate this store reflects that thinking,” company spokesperson Maddie Peters said. The 110,000-square-foot Woodlawn Marketplace center is anchored by The Home Depot, alongside Micro Center and Burlington. In August, Lowes Foods submitted plans with the city of Charlotte to renovate the Burlington store at 4726 South Blvd. with a drive-thru and parking lot improvements. Those plans have not yet been finalized, the Winston-Salem-based grocer recently told The Charlotte Observer. What to expect at the new TJ Maxx Features at the new South Boulevard

Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools reveals how it'll handle finances after top staff leave

Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools will turn to an outside consulting firm to help oversee its finances after its chief financial officer retires at the end of December, the district announced Tuesday. CMS has selected HIL Group, a firm that specializes in supporting North Carolina school districts, to provide financial management, budget development and operational support beginning Jan. 1, 2027. The arrangement comes amid significant turnover in district leadership. Chief Financial Officer Kelly Kluttz is one of five members of former Superintendent Crystal Hill’s 10-person cabinet who left or announced plans to leave CMS, as previously reported by The Charlotte Observer. “Our priority is to maintain strong financial oversight, ensure uninterrupted operations, and provide a transparent, cost-conscious solution while the district addresses this critical leadership need,” a news release states. Rather than immediately appointing a new CFO, CMS will designate an existing employee as its statutory finance officer while the consulting firm provides specialized financial support. The employee, whom CMS has not identified, will retain their current duties and will not receive a CFO salary. CMS Chief of Strategy and Innovation Beth Thompson will coordinate budget communications with the school board and public. The initial agreement with HIL Group, formally known as Hurd,

Former Earth Fare site near Charlotte is ready to debut with new specialty grocer

Sprouts Farmers Market is expanding again, debuting its fourth Charlotte-area store in the same spot as a former specialty grocer in time for the holiday season. Sprouts will open at 7 a.m. Friday, Nov. 13, at Christenbury Corners, 8885 Christenbury Parkway , in Concord. The 24,110-square-foot store marks Sprouts’ first location in a Charlotte suburb. The site near Concord Mills mall was previously home to Earth Fare , which closed in August 2025 amid lease negotiations. Asheville-based Earth Fare originally opened there in 2017 before the company filed for bankruptcy in 2020 and reopening under ownership. In 2021, the Concord store reopened. Sprouts’ expansion is part of a highly competitive landscape , where nearly 730 grocery stores are vying for market share across Charlotte’s over $10.8 billion supermarket industry . “Charlotte continues to experience strong population growth and a growing interest in healthy living,” Sprouts told The Charlotte Observer. That includes demand for fresh produce and items that support a healthy lifestyle, the company said. The new location arrives alongside a wave of recent grocery store openings across the Charlotte area, including Food Lion in east Charlotte , Publix in Union County and Wegmans in Ballantyne .

Charlotte bans street vendors, with one exception. Here's the fine they'll face

Street vending is now prohibited within Charlotte city limits except for designated areas that require permits. The City Council voted 8-1 Monday to extend existing restrictions in NoDa and uptown to include all streets and sidewalks across Charlotte. Unpermitted vending can result in a $500 civil citation. The council voted against making it a crime. The council’s vote created a process for setting up and operating designated vending marketplaces. These will be the only locations where street vending is allowed, and vendors must apply for a permit to participate. Right now, Charlotte Center City Partners runs the only active marketplace program along Tryon Street in uptown . That means street vending won’t be allowed outside of uptown unless the city or a nonprofit partner decide to establish another marketplace. Deputy City Manager Shawn Heath said the city doesn’t have the resources to administer a marketplace itself, which would require workers devoted to receiving and reviewing applications. Another organization would have to step up, but Heath said there’s been a “lukewarm” reception from community partners. Center City Partners did express interest in starting a similar program in South End, however. The council wrestled with the street vending issue for well over

Rock Hill, Fort Mill and Lake Wylie have more homes proposed. So do Clover and Lancaster. They range from typical subdivisions to lakefront living beside a nuclear station . Here’s a look at plans for 450 new homes and townhomes pitched across the Rock Hill region. Details are still pending on a 309-home subdivision proposal in Lancaster County. Homebuilder True Homes applied to build in the Edgewater community on 106 acres with a project called The Pinery East . The site is off Monterrico Drive and Antela Lane. County planners deferred a decision for a month on Sept. 15 due to traffic and related concerns, but didn’t reschedule last month.

Fieldstone Meadow would go on S.C. 55 just outside town limits, near Lester Road. Home lots would be an acre or more each. Four new internal roads off the main highway would serve the subdivision.
