HARRISBURG, PA — Savers, a leading global for-profit thrift retailer, is set to open a new 35,000 s/f store at High Pointe Commons in Harrisburg, a 359,000 s/f regional shopping center, becoming the property’s newest anchor. The store will backfill the former Christmas Tree Shops, marking the backfilling of a notable large-format vacancy at the center and reflecting sustained retailer demand in the Harrisburg market. It will be Savers’ first location in the Harrisburg area and one of its newest openings in Pennsylvania, joining several existing stores statewide as the brand expands its regional footprint.
Levin Management Corporation (LMC) serves as the leasing and managing agent for High Pointe Commons. LMC Leasing representative Fred Younkin negotiated the long-term lease on behalf of the property owner. Joe Dougherty of Metro Commercial represented Savers.
Savers, founded in 1954 in San Francisco, is one of the world’s largest for-profit thrift retailers, operating 165 stores across the United States along with locations in Canada and Australia. The company partners with local nonprofit organizations by purchasing donated clothing and household items, helping fund community programs while supporting one of the nation’s most robust reuse and recycling systems.
“Savers will be an excellent traffic-driving anchor for High Pointe Commons,” Younkin said. “The brand’s mission-driven model, strong customer following and broad appeal make it a perfect fit for the center and the Harrisburg market. Large-format backfills of this size are increasingly competitive, and securing Savers reinforces the property’s strong positioning and ongoing momentum.”
High Pointe Commons is located off Interstate 283 at Exit 2, with direct access to Route 322. The property is shadow anchored by Target and JCPenney and features a broad mix of national retailers, restaurants and service tenants. Notable brands include Petco, Panera Bread, LensCrafters, DXL Big & Tall, Fleet Feet, Orangetheory Fitness, Five Below, Famous Footwear and Crumbl Cookies.
