Last modified: Friday, July 3, 2009 2:08 PM EDT Savers takes over former CompUSA BY AMY DeMELIA SUN CHRONICLE STAFF NORTH ATTLEBORO - The former home to CompUSA may be getting new life as a Savers, a store that sells recycled items, including clothing and furniture. While the plans ares till being worked out, a spokeswoman for Savers said the intent is to open a Savers store at the Route 1 location by the end of 2009, with a possible opening date in November. The store would have about 50 employees, according to Kaitlin Goodall of Duo Public Relations. CompUSA, a computer and electronics retailer, closed its North Attleboro store in May 2007 as part of a major restructuring plan. The plaza where the store was located is across Route 1 from Wal-Mart. Bellevue, Wash.-based Savers operates 112 stores in 23 states and more than 100 stores in Canada and Australia combined. The company sells clothing, shoes, kitchenware, toys, furniture and other items that it purchases from non-profit organizations. According to the Savers Web site, non-profits collect and deliver donated goods to Savers, which pays the organization a bulk rate for the items, regardless of whether they ever make it to the sales floor. Reusable items are displayed for purchase in stores, while unsuitable items are shipped to developing countries and material wholesalers for recycling. There is one town-related issue that needs to be worked out to allow the company to move into town, including revisions to a town bylaw that includes guidelines for junk dealers, flea markets and other sellers of second-hand goods. The bylaw requires dealers to obtain a license from selectmen and to keep a record of anyone who purchases any article in the store, including their name, age, residence and the day and hour the purchase was made. Those records must be available for inspection by the chief of police. It also requires such shops to close by 6 p.m. Town Counsel Roger Ferris told selectmen that because of Savers anticipated volume of business, it would be impossible to comply with the bylaw, which was probably intended for pawn shops. He said there are other businesses in town that should have to follow the bylaw as it is written - antique shops, for example - which are not currently in compliance. Selectmen voted to have Ferris work with town officials to update the bylaw. Any changes would have to be approved at a future town meeting.
