• Home decor and fashion chain, Painted Tree, closes all stores, Chapter 7 next (kansascity.com) — Painted Tree Boutiques has abruptly closed all its stores nationwide, including the Kingwood location where many local makers rented shop space. Vendors were given just days to retrieve their merchandise and now face uncertainty as the company prepares for Chapter 7 bankruptcy, likely leaving many unpaid for past sales. 
• 6-7 Collaboration from Texas brewery leads school fundraising efforts (houstonchronicle.com) — Megaton Brewing in Kingwood is joining a nationwide “6-7 Collaboration” beer project that channels part of IPA sales directly to local schools and education nonprofits. The effort, led by No Label Brewing in Katy, keeps all donations in each brewery’s own community, turning everyday pints into classroom support for teachers and students.
