Finally, some new life around town.

If you drive by the old CompUSA building on Route 10 eastbound in East Hanover, you’ll see that a new Furniture Outlet has taken up the space.

It’s now open for business!

It’s not a branded store like the one next to Babies R Us further down on Route 10 west.  It seems generic. . . If you’ve been inside, please post a comment and let us know what kind of furniture they sell inside?

Of course the question is no one is buying new homes these days to fill up with new furniture and if banks have effectively stopped handing out home equity loans, who’s going to be buying new furniture?  We’ll see I guess . . .

Barnes & Noble of Livingston became bigger and better.  It now resides in the Livingston Mall as a new superstore retail location.

But at the same time, the Barnes & Noble on Route 10 off the Livingston circle is dead.

Completely empty, just waiting to be taken over or space split up and made into a strip mall of little stores and boutiques.  My guess is that someone like Whole Foods could come take over the location and do nicely.
