• NJ families hit as Wren Kitchens abruptly shuts U.S. operations (nj1015.com) — Workers and customers at Hamilton Marketplace’s Wren Kitchens were blindsided when the company abruptly shut all U.S. locations and filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy, leaving jobs and kitchen projects in limbo. Designers from the Hamilton store are scrambling to advise customers on disputing deposits and salvaging ongoing work. State labor officials are reviewing whether required layoff notices were properly filed. 
• Mercer Co. Dog Named Among NJ Lottery's 'Jersey's Top Dogs' (patch.com) — A local pup named Bear from Hamilton is one of just 18 dogs statewide chosen to appear on the New Jersey Lottery’s new “Jersey Dog” scratch-off tickets starting May 4.
