NEW YORK, October 2026 — Two new stores. Two communities. More opportunities to discover great finds and give pre-loved merchandise a second life.

Savers, one of North America’s leading thrift retailers, continues expanding with new stores in Carle Place, New York, and Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Both opened October 1, bringing the brand’s distinctive mix of value, discovery, and reuse to more shoppers.

Behind these openings is a real estate strategy that goes beyond finding available storefronts. For Savers, the right location must connect with value-conscious customers, attract merchandise donors, and support the business model that makes thrift retail work.

RCS Real Estate Advisors, one of Savers’ national real estate portfolio advisors, plays an important role in that strategy, helping identify opportunities that support the retailer’s continued growth.

Long Island: Building on Momentum

Savers’ new 22,900-square-foot store at 260 Voice Road in Carle Place breathes new life into a former Big Lots location at Voice Road Plaza.

It’s Savers’ eighth Long Island store and its fourth opening in the market in nearly two years, strengthening the brand’s presence in a region with strong demand for value-oriented shopping.

RCS Real Estate Advisors, led by Partner Spence Mehl, worked alongside Jeremy Isaacs of Ripco to secure the new Long Island locations.

Lancaster: A New Destination for Discovery

In Lancaster, Pennsylvania, Savers has opened a new nearly 24,000-square-foot store at 1262 Millersville Pike in the Manor Shopping Center.

From clothing and accessories to housewares, books, and unexpected treasures, the store brings the excitement of thrift shopping to another Pennsylvania community.

RCS Real Estate Advisors, led by Partner Spence Mehl, worked alongside Joseph Dougherty and Stephen Carrozza of Metro Commercial to secure the new Pennsylvania locations. As one of Savers’ national real estate portfolio advisors, RCS helps the brand identify opportunities that support its continued growth.

More Than Shopping: Supporting Local Communities

Both openings also strengthen Savers’ connections with nonprofit partners.

In Carle Place, donations support Big Brothers Big Sisters of Long Island, helping fund youth mentoring programs. In Lancaster, Savers partners with the Military Order of the Purple Heart Service Foundation to support combat-wounded veterans and their families.

Savers pays these nonprofit partners for donated merchandise collected on their behalf. As a for-profit retailer, purchases at Savers stores do not directly benefit nonprofit organizations.

The Right Location Makes All the Difference

For Savers, retail growth isn’t simply about adding stores. It’s about understanding the customer, the community, and the unique business model behind every location.

That’s where RCS brings value: combining market knowledge, retailer-first thinking, and real estate expertise to help Savers identify locations that support its business today and create opportunities for tomorrow.

Two new stores. Two growing markets. One strategy built around putting the right retail experience in the right place.

Congratulations to Savers, Ripco, Metro Commercial, and everyone who helped bring these new stores to life.
