Goodwill of Ashtabula Expands into HarborCreek, PA: By President/CEO Eric Schwarz

          Yet another milestone was reached July 14th, when a new site was secured in Harborcreek, Pennsylvania. There, we have plans for a new attended donation collection center and a retail store. The site will serve as our entry into what demographic modelling suggests, is a solid community experiencing steady growth. We will be situated at the intersection of Nagle and Buffalo Road (RT.20) which is the intersection with the highest traffic counts in the community.  It is about one mile from the Penn State Behrend campus. Presently, we have determined this store will be branded as a boutique for which the product mix is being developed. A fair amount of buildout will be underway in the next 60 days. It’s likely that we will add four to six jobs there, once again, growing strength in our Goodwill family. My hope is that we can open the Attended Donation Center in 30 days, and the retail store in 60 days. Stay tuned as we start to work on this new and exciting project.
