Savers Secondhand Retailer Heads to St. Louis
Crestwood gets one of Savers' first two stores in the region in the former Barnes & Noble space on Watson Road.
Savers, a for-profit retailer of secondhand clothing and home goods, is making its first strides into the region with a new store in Crestwood. The Board of Aldermen approved a request for the store to occupy the former Barnes & Noble, 9618 Watson Rd., last week. Savers will retain a 25,000-square-foot sales space, the Crestwood city clerk's office confirmed.
