Postal Way perks up after paving
Dean Wooley and his wife, Robin, opened Subs and Suds in December 2007 but had to wait 11 months for the road in front of the business - Postal Way - to open as a connector between two busy roads in Carolina Forest.
Now, Wooley said, the opening has spurred more business from the community's southwest end.
"We chose this location anticipating Postal Way would be open obviously much sooner than it was opened," he said.

BY KIM HUGHES | FOR YOUR CAROLINA FOREST
Every day, we hear of more companies closing or laying off employees, but how are businesses that have recently opened in and around Carolina Forest faring during the economic downturn? So far, they're managing and hoping for a brighter outlook down the road.
At A Touch of Class Bakery/Cafe, located on Postal Way, co-owners Rennay Coleman and Margo Schwam are optimistic about the future. The two met while working together at a local grocery store bakery department and decided to see if they could make it on their own. They chose Carolina Forest because of its potential for future growth.
All the baked goods are made on-site, including breads, cookies, pastries, cakes and more. They're currently gearing up for Valentine's Day with some specialty items, including chocolate covered strawberries, truffles, gift baskets, cupcakes and cookies. They've also held some tea parties on site to bring in more customers.
