Goodwill
Industries of Ashtabula, Inc. (Serving Northeast Ohio and Northwest
Pennsylvania) has the vision to be recognized as the leader providing
vocational services in the territories of which we serve. Among that vision,
comes the need to expand business initiatives of donated goods retail to fund
and support the vocational services we provide and strive to have stand out.
With these motives in mind, Goodwill Industries has been enthusiastically
planning to introduce a brand new retail store and attended donation center in
Harborcreek, Pennsylvania, and now the time of it’s unveiling is right around
the corner!
The
new location will be located at 1980 Nagle Road, directly behind Walgreens on
Buffalo Road. Prior to becoming a Goodwill, the location was previously known
for being Martin's Country Clean & Self Serve Carwash, succeeded by Direct
Bedding and Furniture. The past businesses that once thrived in this location,
allow Goodwill to operate with a unique layout, as the past 1,700 ft2 laundromat and furniture store will now
serve as a donated goods retail store and the two-door automatic carwash bay
will serve as a drive-through attended donation center, adding a convenience
feature for the individual who donates throughout the winter months.
The
addition of this Harborcreek retail store will constitute as the sixth official
retail site under the territorial domain of Goodwill Industries of Ashtabula,
Inc. (Serving Northeast Ohio and Northwest Pennsylvania); and the ninth site in
general, when one includes the attended donation centers and job training
centers we have in Perry, Ohio, Conneaut Ohio, and Painesville, Ohio
respectively.
As
for now, the primary focus is on building the layout of the store, stocking the
shelves, staffing the store, and training the staff. It is within our
expectations to have both the new store and attended donation center completed
and operating before the winter months come to a close.
