Queen B's Cottage moving, 3 Sisters Lewiston store closing
The space at 444 Center St. will be the new home for Queen B's Cottage with an opening planned for March 1.
Owner Brooke Unversaw said being right on Center Street, Lewiston's main thoroughfare, would be a big plus for her. Her boutique shop opened in the former Lewiston Arts Council house on Ridge Street in August 2022.
'A lot of people don't even know that I'm here,' Unversaw said, noting that Ridge Street only accommodates one-way traffic.
Queen B's sells a variety of home goods, found items from flea markets and estate sales, and candles Unversaw makes. The reduction of store space, from 1,450 square feet to around 700 square feet will force her to be more selective with the product lines offered.
Three Sisters Garlic announced the Lewiston location closure in a Facebook post, with its main location at 4078 N Ridge Road in Cambria still open. Owner Jennifer Di Pasquale opened the store on Aug. 1, 2023.
'As we prepare to close our doors in Lewiston, we want to express our heartfelt gratitude to our customers over the past year,' the post reads. 'Our journey has been filled with passionate flavors, delightful experiences, and strong friendships.'
Di Pasquale said the Lewiston location closed due to a lack of foot traffic and low sales, with the money made at the Cambria location keeping that one afloat. She and Unversaw have been in talks since January, having reached out together as she was looking at new spots.
'We're gonna break it down and just come back to our home roots,' Di Pasquale said.
They have been part of the Lewiston Farmer's Market for the past six years and will continue to do so.

Report: Steelers sign GM Omar Khan to new three-year contract
The Steelers have just signed GM Omar Khan to a new three-year contract, keeping him in the Steel City of Pittsburgh until 2028. Steelers President Art Rooney II made the news official on Thursday: "I am excited to announce we have signed Omar to a new three-year contract," said Steelers President Art Rooney II, via "Omar and his team have done a great job over the past three years in constructing our roster through the NFL Draft, strategic trades, and free agency. We look forward to continuing that trend that will lead to even more success on the field." Since becoming the Steelers general manager shortly after the 2022 NFL Draft, Khan has done wonders for Pittsburgh's roster — earning himself the nickname with fans, the "Khan Artist." Whether he's aiding the future of the Steelers in the NFL Draft, signing high-profile free agents, or finessing a blockbuster trade, Khan has had tremendous success in his first three years as Steelers general manager. But it's not about the past moves he's made — for Khan, it's about the acquisitions still to come. For up-to-date Steelers coverage, follow us on X @TheSteelersWire and give our Facebook page a like.

Auburn AD John Cohen sheds light on program's approach to revenue sharing, recruiting
What is going on with Auburn football's recruiting woes? AD John Cohen sheds light on the issue. It is no secret that Auburn football is in a rough patch when it comes to recruiting, dropping to No. 89 after being in the top 25 just over a month ago. What is the major source of the issue? Head coach Hugh Freeze and athletic director John Cohen addressed the concern during a speaking event on Wednesday. Cohen and Freeze say the dry spell is due mainly to the new NCAA House Settlement that allows universities to share revenue with their student-athletes directly. It is a new process that the duo is learning to understand the new rules, with Freeze admitting that "it's not really to our advantage right now." Adam Cole of The Montgomery Advertiser reports that it is Cohen's understanding that a program's scholarship offer to student-athletes are purely verbal until Aug. 1 of said student-athlete's senior year, which is the day that student-athletes can receive "financial aid of revenue sharing offers "on paper" from an institution, which won't be sign-able until December's early signing period." Cohen says that he, Freeze, and the rest of Auburn's athletic programs are going to do things the "right way" in terms of navigating the new rules and how it affects recruiting. "There's some really new things on the horizon that have never happened before," Cohen said via Montgomery Advertiser. "And I'm here to tell you, we're going to do this the right way. We're going to do it just like Coach (Hugh) Freeze just mentioned — we're going to be honest, we're going to be forthright and we're looking very much forward to Aug. 1 and dates beyond." Not only will revenue sharing change the recruiting landscape, but third-party NIL deals could affect the salary cap as well, and going over the cap could result in "some pretty harsh penalties." Cohen and Freeze are choosing to play it safe when it comes to offering prospective student-athletes, which they hope will ultimately pay off on early signing day. "We at Auburn are going to take that very seriously. But we're still going to win recruiting battles. We're going to do it the right way," Cohen said. "I can't speak for the rest of the recruiting world, but I can tell you this, Auburn is going to do it the right way." Auburn ranks No. 89 in 247Sports' 2026 recruiting rankings as of Thursday afternoon with six commitments, two of which are four stars. It will be interesting to see how the new settlement helps Auburn in recruiting, especially when the calendar flips to August.
