Anthropologie, which sells women’s clothing, gifts, accessories, and home decor, opened a location last month at the Derby Street Shoppes in Hingham. The 9,000-square-foot store (above) is between the Apple Store and Victoria’s Secret, and is open 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Saturday, and 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Sunday. There are six other Anthropologie locations in the state; this is the first on the South Shore.

Each Saturday in August, the Braintree Farmers Market (above) will feature a “Power of Produce’’ tent from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. The tent will host activities aimed at encouraging children to eat healthy. Youngsters who participate will receive a $5 voucher for produce from the farmers market. The tent is sponsored by the Farmers Market Coalition and Chipotle Mexican Grill.

CeX, which sells technology and entertainment products, recently opened a location at the Kingston Collection. The store is next to Waxy’s Modern Irish Bar and across from Newbury Comics. CeX was founded in the United Kingdom in 1992 and now has more than 500 stores worldwide. The Kingston location is the 19th CeX store in the United States, and the second in Massachusetts; the other is on Winter Street in Boston.

The Plymouth and South Shore Association of Realtors has donated $1,000 each to two Marshfield organizations. The Boys & Girls Club of Marshfield will put the money toward its scholarship program. Children from families in need, including those in homeless shelters or transitional housing, are awarded scholarships each year that allow them to participate in the club’s programs. The other donation recipient is the Carolina Hill Shelter, which houses and supports homeless families. It will use the money for transportation to and from appointments and programs at the Boys & Girls Club. The donations were made possible through grants from the Massachusetts Association of Realtors Charitable Foundation.

Image360, an international signage and graphics business, recently opened a franchise in Weymouth. The franchise is owned by Helena Miranda (above center), a Marshfield resident who has lived on the South Shore for more than 30 years. The new franchise is at 86 Finnell Drive, Unit 21. Image360 works with businesses and organizations on projects such as environmental graphics, promotional displays, and more. This is the only Image360 location in Massachusetts.
