HIGH POINT, N.C. — The man who will ultimately decide to open a call center that could employ as many as 2,000 people has a better idea of what the Piedmont Triad has to offer.

Bill Bartmann was in a business park in the High Point and Greensboro area looking at property he might want to use for those jobs.

North Carolina is one of five states in the running for his business.

Bartmann runs a company called CFS2 which started as a debt collection service. The CFS2 call center would bring 2,000 jobs to whichever city is selected.

Among the locations within the Piedmont, CFS2 is considering Greensboro, Winston-Salem and High Point, where NCO Customer Management recently announced it would close its call center along with cutting 658 jobs.

If High Point is selected, the call center would occupy the former NCO building on Highway 68.

The Triad's first male-only spa will open Monday in High Point, according to officials.

 The 400 Spa is located at 4140 Mendenhall Oaks Parkway. The facility is reportedly equipped with state of the art spa capsules.

It will offer manicures, pedicures, massages, facials and body treatments including refining body sugar scrub, hydrating mud wraps and therapeutic sports baths.

The facility reportedly has lake front views from most rooms and a lounge with food and video games.

"Men make up 31% of spa-goers now, and the numbers keep rising," said owner James Carpenter Jr., in a news release. "These men want to look and feel their best on a regular basis and we can provide that."

Business hours are 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday - Friday. Membership is usually $100 a year, but a grand opening special is being offered.

Canadian furniture manufacturer Bermex International has bought a nearly 95,000-square-foot building in High Point, according to the High Point Enterprise.

The manufacturer recently bought the building at 400 W. English Road from the Bank of North Carolina for $2.4 million.

The Bank of North Carolina foreclosed on the property in 2010. The four-story brick building was previously owned by Gabriele Natale of Natale Furniture.

“They have grown so much that they occupied three spaces in the area,” said Philip Stewart who represented Bermex in the transaction, according to the paper.

The purpose of the purchase was for Bermex to consolidate and to own property, the paper reported.

Several million dollars were spent renovating and updating the building in 2003. It also was home to The Aquarius Music Hall in 2009 and 2010.

The property was previously listed at $7 million and is reportedly in excellent condition.
