Misses, petites shop BonWorth opens

Clothing retailer BonWorth has opened a store at Inlet Square mall in Murrells Inlet. BonWorth makes clothes in misses and petite sizes and specializes in embroideries. The chain is based in Hendersonville, N.C., and has stores in more than 36 states.

The addition brings the mall's store count to 35, according to the mall's general manager Heather Hensley.

Sound Shop and Gift Addict left the mall in recent months, but the mall has also added stores such as Steve & Barry's.

Renovations at the mall have been on hold since November because developers needed an extra $2 million and wanted to draw up new ceiling plans. Mall officials haven't released further information about when construction will resume.
