At a stop Monday at a local manufacturer, DeMint decries the "uncertainty" that the Obama Administration and Congress are creating for small businesses.
From the look and sound of things, Adex Machining Technologies has a bright future ahead of it as it continues to grow and build customers in the aerospace, defense, and energy sectors. Led by Jason Premo and Sean Witty, two young, erstwhile Georgia Tech graduates, the company — located on Feaster Road in Greenville — machines heavy-metal components for the likes of Boeing and Sikorsky and General Electric. Begun in 2007 with just a handful of employees, the company now employs nearly 50. Several of those employees earn wages in the range of $60,000 annually, Premo said, with a handful of others earning six figures — many with only a tech school degree. Still, despite the company's apparent success, both Premo and Witty fret about their …

From baby showers to over-the-hill celebrations, the store offers everything from balloons and centerpieces to invitations and paper products
On a recent Friday afternoon, a party atmosphere was beginning to take shape at a local Easley business. Customers bought things for St. Patrick's Day celebrations, a crown for an over-the-hill party and a pink-and-black balloon bouquet was being readied for birthday party. The two sales associate, Sara Hubber and Mallory Burr, critiqued each other's work, adding a bit of color here, suggesting how the ballons should be grouped together for the bouquet and greeting each customer who came through the door. A helium tank hissed, breathing life into each of the balloons. Quickly tied with coordinating ribbon, the bouquet was ready in less than 15 minutes and the customer was out the door. Paper Party Place has been helping put the "P" in …

Indoor archery range, supplies store hopes to hit the mark with area enthusiasts
Travis and Angel Weathers of Easley love bow-hunting. Both avid hunters since childhood, the Weathers wanted a place they could practice, even if conditions outside make it unbearable. It was the reason the couple decided to open Xtreme Outdoors, a three-dimensional archery range and bow-hunting supply store at 7005-A Calhoun Memorial Highway. "We got tired of it being too hot, or too cold, or too wet," said Angel Weathers. "The closest indoor range is more than an hour away." The store will offer a full line of archery targets, including Rinehart, and archery products. The store also will offer training for those who have never used a bow as well as two certified bow techs, who will help new hunters find the right equipment for them. …

A day of shopping followed by two more?
Yesterday was one of the few days where you were late, if you weren't up before the crack of dawn. Thousands of bargain-hunters lined up before midnight on Thanksgiving night in anticpations of big box stores opening when the clock struck twelve. By mid-afternoon, Woodruff Road looked only slightly busier than it does on a typical Saturday. In Mauldin, many small and locally owned businesses such as Moonstruck on Main Street saw a steady stream of customers. We've added some pictures from when we were out and about. Feel free to add yours and let us know where the best deals were. And don't forget, today is Small Business Saturday, so shop local!

Whether you're heading over the river to Grandma's or through the woods to the mall, check out the roadways before you leave.
Millions of Americans will be hitting the roads this weekend. Many will travel out of town to visit relatives or friends for Thanksgiving. Some will just make a quick trip over to Grandma's in the next town. And others will head out to begin (or finish) their holiday shopping. Whatever reason you're hopping in the car this weekend, make sure you check out our live traffic map (thanks to our friends at MapQuest) before you head out.
