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

Richmond's bakery boom brings two more sweet additions

Ready your sweet tooth and stop counting calories, Richmond has a fresh batch of bakeries. Why it matters: There's no such thing as too many cookies, cakes and bread — for any city. State of play: Jane Dough , a pop-up turned brick and mortar, opened last week on MacArthur in Northside. The shop is from baker Jane Lukas, a culinary school grad who started baking during the pandemic before moving to Richmond, per Style Weekly . Once settled here, Lukas started baking in her converted garage and selling her bread and pastries at Dorey Park Farmers Market and Celladora last year, quickly developing a loyal following. On the menu : Jane Dough's signature sourdough loaves ($10-$12), focaccia ($7-$8.50), croissants ($7.50-$8.50) cookies ($3.50) and rotating pastries. Fun fact: True to Richmond's form, the bakery has been selling out quickly in its opening days, so go early. What they're saying: "We really appreciate the love the community has been showing us," Lukas tells Axios. If you go: Jane Dough is open 7am-2pm, Thursday through Sunday at 4029 MacArthur Ave. More of those gorgeous Jane Dough loaves.
