• Accused flasher bonds out of jail, records expose history of repeat offenses (wsbtv.com) — Police say a man recently bonded out of jail after being charged with indecent exposure inside the Walmart on Lawrenceville-Suwanee Road, where officers used a Taser during his arrest. Court and police records from other Georgia counties describe prior indecent exposure and related charges, and legal experts stress that Suwanee-area residents should promptly report any similar incidents so patterns can be tracked and penalties can escalate.
   

• Multiple GA Retailers Planning 2026 Closures: See List (patch.com) — One Macy’s store in Suwanee was among at least 66 Macy’s locations that closed in 2025, and more big-name retailers are planning additional Georgia closures through 2026. Chains like Kroger, Dick’s, Wendy’s, and others haven’t named specific Georgia sites yet, but many are reviewing underperforming locations statewide, so more changes could eventually reach Gwinnett County shoppers.
