Savers opens massive new thrift store in Chesterfield

Savers, the massive secondhand chain with a devoted following, is opening its first Richmond-area store in Midlothian on Thursday . Why it matters: The national for-profit retailer is a thrifter's paradise, known for its selection of designer pieces, vintage finds and home decor. Until now, the closest location has been about 80 miles away in Woodbridge . The big picture: The nearly 29,000-square-foot store is taking over the former American Freight furniture store at 9131 Midlothian Turnpike in the Arch Village Shopping Center. When news of its expansion hit social media, one commenter said they'd even written to Savers asking it to open here. But some thrifters have also criticized the chain's prices, saying "I fear the name is becoming misleading." The good news: Shoppers can get 20% off their next purchase by donating eligible items . If you go: Savers will be open daily from 9am-9pm except for Sunday, when it's 10am-7pm. The Savers Thrift sign outside the incoming Henrico location.

A company spokesperson told Axios they're aiming for a spring 2027 opening. Editor's note: This story has

Coulton ekes out Ward 7 victory over council incumbent Westbrook

A recount in Petersburg's Ward 7 city council election remains within the realm of possibility following the counting of provisional votes Tuesday, Nov. 10, but only if the candidate who came out on the short end is willing to pay for it. And right now, that candidate, who is also the Ward 7 incumbent, says he is "content" with the results. Challenger Herb Coulton Jr. claimed victory after the tallying, which saw his six-vote margin over Councilor Arnold Westbrook Jr. increase to eight. The provisionals counted by the Petersburg Electoral Board on Tuesday had Coulton picking up nine votes to Westbrook's seven. Third-place candidate Bobby Beverly picked up three of those provisionals while the other three went to a write-in. The final total in Ward 7 had Coulton on top with 561 votes, Westbrook with 553, Beverly with 176 and write-in candidates with 160. Coulton won with a plurality of 38.69% of the total vote to Westbrook's 38.14% Under Virginia election law, if the margin difference is less than .5%, then the locality − Petersburg − would cover the recount cost. Anything between .5% and 1% is still eligible for a recount, but the second-place finisher − Westbrook − would

Richmond's next Scott's Addition could be on this new Opportunity Zone map

Could the next Scott's Addition be in South Richmond, Henrico or Chesterfield? Federal officials have approved 17 new Opportunity Zones across the region, offering the same tax incentives that helped finance Scott's Addition's building boom. Why it matters: The program has helped attract millions in private investment to targeted Richmond neighborhoods. Now a new slate of communities could get the same financial boost. State of play: The 17 new zones across Richmond, Henrico, Chesterfield and Hanover are among 153 approved statewide, Gov. Spanberger announced Friday . They take effect Jan. 1, 2027. They'll join 22 tracts designated in the region in 2018. Tax benefits for those original zones, which include Scott's Addition, remain in effect through 2028. Zoom in: Richmond had 11 original zones and landed eight new ones, including Monroe Ward, Gilpin Court, areas around Virginia Union University and large stretches of South Richmond. Chesterfield's new zone is around Chesterfield Towne Center, where a major renovation is planned. Henrico's five zones include parts of Lakeside and East Highland Park, plus a large swath of eastern Henrico near the airport. In Hanover, one new zone includes part of Ashland. How it works: The federal program, created during President Trump's first

Revisiting Dump Now, Pay Later: Inadequate Financial Assurance at the Shoosmith Landfill

Years ago, Bill Kovacs, then Vice President of the Chamber of Commerce, several state regulators, and I helped launch an initiative called "Clean States." Although the program never fully got off the ground, its core vision remains compelling: demonstrating that environmental stewardship and economic growth can go hand in hand when businesses profit from pollution prevention. The same principle applies to healthcare: by proactively addressing root causes, we can prevent larger, more costly problems down the line. Let us learn from the past so we do not repeat the same mistakes.
