For weeks, neighbors in Beaverton have knocked on the doors of the new Goodwill, hoping the doors would finally open. Well, let the shopping commence. The new, massive thrift store is officially open for business.
Dale Emmanuel with GWill tells GNPDX this store is the second largest in the local territory . . . but it won’t get the pleasure of being the “family baby” for long. Business is doing so well for the chain (sales up several percent) that three more stores are slated for opening in the coming months.
Of course, what is good for Goodwill is good for all of us. About 94% of the dollars that come in go right back to helping local people find jobs. Yeah, that pair of jeans you never wear and those cooking utensils sitting in your attic gathering dust could help someone find a new career.
Kinda makes you want to do some spring cleaning this weekend, eh?
The new store is in Beaverton across from the Nissan dealership off of Cedar Hills Blvd (12975 SW Westgate Dr).
