Braxton Brewing Co. to take over Hi-Wire Brewing's Norwood taproom at Factory52
Covington-founded Braxton Brewing will transition the Hi-Wire's taproom at Factory52 into one of its own after both companies made the "mutual growth transition," according to a news release.
The taproom will be temporarily closed until sometime in June for renovations. Braxton Brewing said it will retain current Hi-Wire employees from the Factory 52 location and several Hi-Wire beers will remain on tap.
In addition, Braxton Brewing is taking over the green-space and full-service bar in front of the brewery, which they are calling The Porch. The brewery plans to continue offering family-friendly programming and events in the green space, including movie nights and pop-up events.
The departure of Asheville, North Carolina-based Hi-Wire's northernmost taproom comes after Hurricane Helene destroyed much of the brewery's headquarters, flagship taproom and distribution warehouse in September 2024.
"We had to look at our business and figure out the best path forward without knowing how we would recover from the flood," Hi-Wire co-founder Adam Charnack said in the news release. "We had to think about how to ensure the health of the business, and that meant making some hard choices."
Hi-Wire opened its Cincinnati-area taproom in 2023, following expansions across North Carolina and in Louisville, Kentucky; Knoxville, Tennessee; and Nashville.
Braxton Brewing recently opened a new location in Union, Kentucky in November.

VeriSign beats second-quarter profit estimates on steady demand for domain names
(Reuters) -Internet services company VeriSign posted second-quarter profit above Wall Street estimates on Thursday, helped by stable demand for domain name registrations as businesses bolster their digital footprints. The Reston, Virginia-based company serves as the authoritative registry operator for two of the internet's most commercially significant domains, .com and .net, which together account for the majority of global domain registrations. Its shares gained about 2% in extended trading after earlier dropping 8% following the news. For the second quarter, the company posted a profit of $2.21 per share, compared with estimates of $2.20, according to data compiled by LSEG. Verisign ended the second quarter with 170.5 million .com and .net domain name registrations in the domain name base, down 0.1% from a year ago. The company reported second-quarter revenue of $410 million, missing analysts' estimates of $411 million. VeriSign also operates two of the world's 13 critical root name servers that form the backbone of internet infrastructure. It processed 10.4 million new domain name registrations for .com and .net in the second quarter, compared with 9.2 million a year ago.

Kohl's shares quickly rose in a 'meme-stock' rally. What to know.
Kohl's Corp shares briefly doubled in value to a ten-month high of $21.23 on July 22, making it one of the most traded stocks on retail platforms. The chain became the latest 'meme stock,' as the surge in trading was driven by online discussions on platforms like Reddit's WallStreetBets. Reuters reported that the volume of the Wisconsin-based company's stock caused a temporary halt in trading. The share price closed at approximately $14.34 per share, representing a 38% increase for the day. The recent trading frenzy resembles the 2021 "meme stock" rally, marked by surges in stocks like GameStop and AMC Entertainment. Contributing factors included COVID-19 lockdowns, which increased savings, government stimulus checks and low interest rates that drove more investors into the stock market. Here's what you need to know about the Kohl's 'meme stock' rally: What are meme stocks? A meme stock is a nickname for a company whose shares get a boost when retail traders rally around it on platforms such as Reddit, and X to trigger a short squeeze, according to Reuters. These companies are often facing losses, but meme stock traders love them for their cheap stock price. WallStreetBets on Reddit has gained popularity as a forum for discussing the stock market and sharing stock recommendations. Often, those companies have a large amount of shares being shorted, which can lead to price increases and force hedge funds and other firms betting against these companies to take a sizable financial loss. How much trading took place in Kohl's shares? The average trading volume for Kohl's is roughly 8.7 million shares a day. However, on July 22, traders were moving as high as 190 million shares of stock. Kohl's stock continues wild ride: CNBC's Cramer says 'something good' could come at company What do experts say about meme stock trading? David Swartz, analyst with Morningstar who monitors Kohl's, told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, part of the USA TODAY network, that Kohl's share price has been steadily increasing in recent months. 'It's been building for a while,' Swartz said. 'It has been building from its lows, and people started promoting it online.' Swartz said the volume on July 22 was astronomically higher than usual. 'That will typically happen when there's a big move,' Swartz said. Those who bet against the stock likely lost money or had to buy more stock to cover their losses, he added. Even with the stock's performance increasing in recent weeks, Swartz said he doesn't expect the trading frenzy to last. Macy's and Bed, Bath & Beyond are examples of companies that have been caught up in the 'meme stock' rally, but neither company's future financial situation has changed.
