Currently the closest location to the Upstate is in Charlotte, N.C. However, Patrick Hyde operates iPlace at 550 South Main St. in Greenville, an Apple authorized reseller and service provider.

According to sources, the store will open this summer where The Children’s Place is currently located in Haywood Mall. The specialty retailer of children’s merchandise will move into the former Hallmark store before it moves to its permanent location at the old Eddie Bauer location.
